The '--full' option to git fsck does two things:
1) Check objects in packs
2) Check alternate objects
This is documented in the git fsck manual; this patch reflects that in
the short git fsck option help message as well.

I sent this patch a while back, and after the resulting discussion, the --full
option was made the default. However, the short option help was still not
updated to reflect the full documentation (and behavior) of git fsck.
(This is a resend. My apologies if you get this twice.)
