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>.

Override the author name used in the commit. Use
`A U Thor [off-list ref]` format.
Hey Junio,
Say, if we were to document and espouse one form over the other,
which would you recommend or prefer?
