Command-line options that lack documentation

Hi!

The following options lack (full) documentation in the manual pages:

git-am:
  --patch-format
  --rerere-autoupdate

git-bisect:
  next subcommand

git-commit:
  --null
  --interactive

git-notes copy:
  --for-rewrite

git-submodule update:
  --init

git-config:
  --local

git-reflog expire:
  -n, --dry-run

git-reflog delete:
  -n, --dry-run

git-repack:
  --quiet

git-cherry:
  --abbrev

git-fsck:
  -v

git-rerere:
  --rerere-autoupdate

git-verify-tag:
  -v, --verbose

git-svn init | fetch | clone | rebase | dcommit:
  --no-auth-cache
  --config-dir

git-svn fetch | clone | rebase | dcommit:
  --noMetadata
  --useSvmProps
  --useSvnsyncProps
  --log-window-size
  --no-checkout

git-svn fetch | rebase | dcommit:
  --fetch-all, --all

git-svn dcommit:
  -C, --copy-similarity

git-svn log:
  --color
  --pager
  --non-recursive

git-svn show-ignore | mkdirs:
  -r, --revision

git-svn commit-diff:
  -m, --message
  -F, --file
  -r, --revision

git-index-pack:
  --pack_header

git-merge-file:
  --marker-size
  --diff3

git-pack-objects:
  --reflog
  --keep-unreachable
  --unpack-unreachable

git-ls-files:
  --resolve-undo

git-send-pack:
  --mirror
  --stateless-rpc
  --helper-status

git-receive-pack:
  --advertise-refs
  --stateless-rpc

git-upload-pack:
  --advertise-refs
  --stateless-rpc

git-mailinfo:
  --no-inbody-headers

Furthermore, the fact that most commands take -h and --help is undocumented, but perhaps not of any real importance.

I would provide patches to the documentation, but most of these options are beyond my grasp of Git.

Intentional, cf. 6956f85 (notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite, 2010-03-12).

It's actually in gitcli(7).

"--init" is documented in the synopsis and under the "init" and "update" commands. The only shortcoming is that the "--init" option isn't quoted properly and thus doesn't get decorated like other options in the html pages, is that what you mean?

While that’s true, It’s not documented under the OPTIONS header.
