Subject: [PATCH (resend)] Update git fsck --full short description to mention packs
Message-ID: <201002051258.50732.wjl@icecavern.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/201002051258.50732.wjl%40icecavern.net

```
The '--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.)
