It is unclear from the documentation that the spring.config.location and spring.config.additional-location properties are mutually exclusive. This change explicitly documents it.
The wording is subject to change, but I think the fact that these properties are mutually exclusive should be documented explicitly.
It took me about a day (before eventually delving into the spring code in ConfigFileApplicationListener) to realize I could not use these in tandem, I would like to avoid others having to make the same mistake.

Thanks for the proposal. I'm not sure that it's intentional for those two properties to be mutually exclusive. I've opened #20745 so that we can take a step back and consider how we think things should behave and, if we decide that a change in behaviour is required, in what branch it should be changed.
