In the usage message for "git commit", the --cleanup option appeared at the end, as one of the "contents options": usage: git commit [options] [--] <filepattern>... ... Commit message options ... Commit contents options ... --allow-empty ok to record an empty change --cleanup <default> how to strip spaces and #comments from message This is confusing, in part because it makes it ambiguous whether --allow-empty, just above, refers to an empty diff or an empty message. Move --cleanup into the 'message options' group. Also add a pair of comments to prevent similar oversights in the future.
