Comment 2 Dominic Cleal 2014-06-02 15:15:38 UTC 
I've suggested this argument be removed from the documentation upstream:
https://github.com/hercules-team/augeas/pull/130
Comment 3 Dominic Cleal 2014-06-03 10:28:38 UTC 
Rather than being fixed/implemented, the option has now been removed from the documentation (help output and the man page).

Comment 6 Lingfei Kong 2014-09-16 07:15:49 UTC 
#augtool 
augtool> dump-xml /files/etc/ /root/save.xml

Too many arguments. Command dump-xml takes only 1 arguments
augtool> help dump-xml
  COMMAND
