Robert P. J. Day 1a1fc2d5b5 prune: add "--progress" to man page and usage msg
Add mention of git prune's "--progress" option to the SYNOPSIS and
DESCRIPTION sections of the man page, and to the usage message of "git
prune" itself.

While we're here, move the explanation of "--" toward the end of the
DESCRIPTION section, where it belongs.

git-prune(1)
============
NAME
----
git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git prune' [-n] [-v] [--progress] [--expire <time>] [--] [<head>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
NOTE: In most cases, users should run 'git gc', which calls
'git prune'. See the section "NOTES", below.
This runs 'git fsck --unreachable' using all the refs
available in `refs/`, optionally with additional set of
objects specified on the command line, and prunes all unpacked
objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database.
In addition, it
prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
running 'git prune-packed'.
It also removes entries from .git/shallow that are not reachable by
any ref.
Note that unreachable, packed objects will remain. If this is
not desired, see linkgit:git-repack[1].
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
--dry-run::
Do not remove anything; just report what it would
remove.
-v::
--verbose::
Report all removed objects.
--progress::
Show progress.
--expire <time>::
Only expire loose objects older than <time>.
\--::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
<head>...::
In addition to objects
reachable from any of our references, keep objects
reachable from listed <head>s.
EXAMPLE
-------
To prune objects not used by your repository or another that
borrows from your repository via its
`.git/objects/info/alternates`:
------------
$ git prune $(cd ../another && git rev-parse --all)
------------
Notes
-----
In most cases, users will not need to call 'git prune' directly, but
should instead call 'git gc', which handles pruning along with
many other housekeeping tasks.
For a description of which objects are considered for pruning, see
'git fsck''s --unreachable option.
