I do not think this is correct; does -u take optionally path and
when path is ambiguous you can add -- to disambiguate?

Honestly, I would rather not sprinkle synopsis with too many
nested parentheses and brackets, which only makes it harder to
see without giving a clear "this combines with that but is not
compatible with the other" information.  Adding comment to the
section that begins with "-u::" that says "... commit -a; this
option does not take any paths parameters." would be cleaner,
and easier to understand.

Of course, I would prefer a patch to allow use of paths with -u
even more, but that is what I already said ;-).
