Thanks; that change was indeed not intended.

Looking at synopsis sections for other commands that take their input from the standard input (e.g. "git check-attr"), I think we should make it clear that "pack-file" is not to be spelled as-is at the same time, i.e.

	'git unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] [--strict] < <pack-file>
