This patch fixes the SYNOPSIS in git-commit.txt:
 * --amend is not an alternative option to -c/-C/-F/-m
 * -m and -F are not alternative options to -c/-C,
   because you can reuse authorship from a commit (-c/-C)
   but change the message (-m/-F).

Furthermore, for long-option consistency --author <author>
is changed to --author=<author>.

---author <author>::
+--author=<author>::
 	Override the author name used in the commit.  Use
 	`A U Thor [off-list ref]` format.
