There were various inaccuracies in the previous SYNOPSIS output, e.g. "--path" is not something that can optionally go with any options except --textconv or --filters, as the output implied. The opening line of the DESCRIPTION section is also "In its first form[...]", which refers to "git cat-file <type> <object>", but the SYNOPSIS section wasn't showing that as the first form! That part of the documentation made sense inmaintd83a42f34a
(Documentation: minor grammatical fixes in git-cat-file.txt, 2009-03-22) when it was introduced, but since then various options that were added have made that intro make no sense in the context it was in. Now the two will match again. The usage output here is not properly aligned on "master" currently, but will be with my in-flight4631cfc20b
(parse-options: properly align continued usage output, 2021-09-21), so let's indent things correctly in the C code in anticipation of that. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
