Re: [PATCH] git-rebase.sh: Update USAGE string (No. 1)

I would say "[--whitespace=<option>]" or "[--whitespace=<action>]"
instead of introducing yet not agreed upon notation (this has the
advantage of shortening synopisis, which should be short IMHO).

The "{a|b|c}" is a used syntax. See cpio(1).
 
    cpio  {-o|--create} [-0acvABLV] ...

The information about values to --whitespace is buried under 2 manual
pages. A help that displays the values immediately is more helpful. The
--whitespace option is used very frequently.

By this reasoning, "(a|b|c)" is also a used syntax.  See git-branch(1).
