I am not sure about the last two, i.e. things that are not dash+option
appearing as enumeration labels, though (and Cc'ing Jean-Noël to ask
for help).

 ...

Well, the check fails to catch all the missing cases: The last two terms 
should also be formatted. For the <revision-range>, you can either enclose it 
with underscores (as a placeholder) or with backticks (which the formatter 
formats like a placeholder). For the last one, backticks are definitely needed 
to differentiate the formatting between the placeholder and the syntax marks.

As for my patch series, this can definitely be checked. will reroll.

This is what I queued on top of your topic to prepare the
integration today.

 	Show tree entries even when recursing into them. It has no effect
