Wesley J. LandakerThe '--full' option to git fsck does two things:
1) Check objects in packs 2) Check alternate objects
This is documented in the git fsck manual; this patch reflects that in the short git fsck option help message as well.

I sent this patch a while back, and after the resulting discussion, the --full option was made the default. However, the short option help was still not updated to reflect the full documentation (and behavior) of git fsck.
(This is a resend. My apologies if you get this twice.)
