The --format option was made optional in 8ff21b1 (git-archive: make
tar the default format, 2007-04-09), but it was not marked as optional
in the summary. This trival patch just changes the summary to match
the rest of the documentation.

* maint-1.6.0:
git-show-ref.txt: remove word and make consistent
git-svn documentation: fix typo in 'rebase vs. pull/merge' section
use xstrdup, not strdup in ll-merge.c
Under is better than in because of the nested nature of the .git
directory.
"also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so
just use that.

Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not
recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have
consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and
simplifying sentences.
The terms "hand-resolve" and "hand resolve" were used, so just use "hand
resolve" to be more consistent.

Otherwise, the sentence "Defaults to HEAD." can be mis-read to mean
that "git checkout -- hello.c" checks-out from HEAD.

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

Include examples of using HEAD. The order of examples

The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it
very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show
that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations.
Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in
informal prose.
