Subject: [PATCH v5 14/34] doc txt & -h consistency: use "<options>", not "<options>..."
Message-ID: <patch-v5-14.34-760bc0a6727-20221013T153626Z-avarab@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover-v5-00.34-00000000000-20221013T153625Z-avarab@gmail.com>

It's arguably more correct to say "[<option>...]" than either of these
forms, but the vast majority of our documentation uses the
"[<options>]" form to indicate an arbitrary number of options, let's
do the same in these cases, which were the odd ones out.

In the case of "mv" and "sparse-checkout" let's add the missing "[]"
to indicate that these are optional.

In the case of "t/helper/test-proc-receive.c" there is no *.txt
version, making it the only hunk in this commit that's not a "doc txt
& -h consistency" change.
