Re: Some Documentation/Usage Notes

Note to $self -- here are some tidbits ToDo:

o   --help  doesn't work on:
      git-hash-object
	git-init-db
	git-write-tree

Noted.  Thanks.

o   There is an odd <any-file-on-the-filesystem> argment named
    in the git-hash-object documentation.  Would <file> be better
    and more consistent?  Or is there some subtlety that I am missing?

The subtlety is that it is the only parameter to the coreish
command set that happily named a file outside the project
directory (i.e. you can say "git-hash-object /etc/passwd" but
you cannot say "git-update-index /etc/passwd" --- even if your
repository is at /.git, you would say "git-update-index
etc/passwd" for that). But you are right.  That distinction is
irrelevant.
