Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

Show the HEAD reference.
---tags, --heads::

+--heads::
Limit to only "refs/heads" and "refs/tags", respectively. These
options are not mutually exclusive; when given both, references stored
in "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" are displayed.
--d, --dereference::
+-d::
+--dereference::
Dereference tags into object IDs as well. They will be shown with "^{}"
appended.
--s, --hash::
+-s::
+--hash::
Only show the SHA1 hash, not the reference name. When also using
--dereference the dereferenced tag will still be shown after the SHA1.

Aside from returning an error code of 1, it will also print an error

Abbreviate the object name. When using `--hash`, you do
not have to say `--hash --abbrev`; `--hash=len` would do.

Do not print any results to stdout. When combined with '--verify' this
can be used to silently check if a reference exists.
