Re: [PATCH] git-tag(1): we tag HEAD by default

There are some instances with the comma style:

  $ git grep ',.*::$' Documentation/*.txt
  Documentation/blame-options.txt:-L <start>,<end>, -L :<regex>::
  Documentation/config.txt:gitcvs.dbuser, gitcvs.dbpass::
  Documentation/config.txt:http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
  Documentation/git-add.txt:-e, \--edit::
  Documentation/git-check-attr.txt:-a, --all::
  Documentation/git-check-ignore.txt:-q, --quiet::
  Documentation/git-check-ignore.txt:-v, --verbose::
  Documentation/git-log.txt:-L <start>,<end>:<file>, -L :<regex>:<file>::
  Documentation/git-p4.txt:--verbose, -v::
  Documentation/git-p4.txt:--dry-run, -n::
  Documentation/git-tag.txt:<commit>, <object>::

The above are clearly candidate for clean-ups (the last one is your
making I already killed in this thread, isn't it?).

These are false matches, I think.

  Documentation/diff-options.txt:--stat[=<width>[,<name-width>[,<count>]]]::
  Documentation/diff-options.txt:--dirstat[=<param1,param2,...>]::
  Documentation/git-index-pack.txt:--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]::
  Documentation/git-log.txt:git log -L '/int main/',/^}/:main.c::
  Documentation/git-p4.txt:"//depot/my/project@1,6"::
  Documentation/git-pack-objects.txt:--index-version=<version>[,<offset>]::
  Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt:`git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)`::
  Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt:`git push fd::7,8/bar master`::
  Documentation/git-reset.txt:Undo a commit, making it a topic branch::
  Documentation/git-shortlog.txt:-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
  Documentation/git-show-branch.txt:--reflog[=<n>[,<base>]] [<ref>]::

I am not sure about these "A, e.g. B, C::" entries.  I tend to think
that they are all logically a single entry, that happen to have
commas in their entry heading, and fall into the same "false
matches" category as above.
