Could we possibly just shorten the synopsis to something like this?
"git repack [<options>]"
As Junio mentioned here [1], this could be a more "modern" style? Since the OPTIONS chunk below gives a more detailed usage, I think we can get rid of the redundancy in the SYNOPSIS. And it also helps with the aesthetic and clarity.
