[PATCH v2] doc: improve usage string in MyFirstContribution

From: Christian Couder <hidden>
Date: 2019-06-22 06:11:07
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

We implement a command called git-psuh which accept arguments, so let's
show that it accepts arguments in the doc and the usage string.

While at it, we need to prepare "a NULL-terminated array of usage strings",
not just "a NULL-terminated usage string".

The only change compared to he previous version is that "[<arg>...]" is
used instead of "<arg>..." in the synopsis and help message as discussed
with Emily, Eric and Junio.
