The command git cat-file can now use the mailmap mechanism to replace idents with their canonical versions for commit and tag objects. There are several options like `--batch`, `--batch-check` and `--batch-command` that can be combined with `--use-mailmap`. But, the documentation for `--batch`, `--batch-check` and `--batch-command` doesn't say so. This patch fixes that documentation.
