'git subtree add' accepts a commit when working with the local repository and a ref when working with a remote repository:

	git subtree add   --prefix=<prefix> <commit>
	git subtree add   --prefix=<prefix> <repository> <ref>

but the manpage was no in sync with the code. I fixed it for the local case too. Anthony
