Using ansible 1.9.0.1, if I combine --start-at-task=“…” with --list-tasks, it lists all tasks.

I would have expected it would list only the tasks beginning at start-at-task, similar to using it with --tags=‘…’.

I couldn’t find an issue report or relevant comments in the latest ansible git log. Is there an issue I missed or should I open one?

So shouldn’t they at least be exclusive then? That would be some form of feedback.
