Description

arvados.commands._util.validate_filters raises a ValueError that gives more detail about exactly what's wrong with the filters. Figuring out a way to include that information would be better than this:

$ arv-mount --filters /dev/null $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/keep
usage: arv-mount [-h] [--retries RETRIES] [--version] [--allow-other] [--subtype STRING]
                 [--all | --custom | --home | --shared | --by-tag | --by-id | --by-pdh | --project UUID | --collection UUID_or_PDH]
