tag: change misleading --list <pattern> documentation
Change the documentation for --list so that it's described as a toggle, not as an option that takes a <pattern> as an argument. Junio initially documented this in b867c7c23a ("git-tag: -l to list tags (usability).", 2006-02-17), but later Jeff King changed "tag" to accept multiple patterns in 588d0e834b ("tag: accept multiple patterns for --list", 2011-06-20). However, documenting this as "-l <pattern>" was never correct, as these both worked before Jeff's change: git tag -l 'v*' git tag 'v*' -l One would expect an option that was documented like that to only accept: git tag --list git tag --list 'v*rc*' And after Jeff's change, one that took multiple patterns: git tag --list 'v*rc*' --list '*2.8*' But since it's actually a toggle all of these work as well, and produce identical output to the last example above: git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list --list --list git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list -l --list -l --list Now the documentation is more in tune with how the "branch" command describes its --list option since commit cddd127b9a ("branch: introduce --list option", 2011-08-28). Change the test suite to assert that these invocations work for the cases that weren't already being tested for.
