Incorrect documention for git-credential-store
The man page for git-credential-store at
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
and
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-credential-store.html
incorrectly state that the option to change the credential storage path is '--store'. The name of the option should be '--file'. I have noticed this running it 1.8.5.3

Thanks. Here's a fix.

The option name "--store" was used early in development, but never even made it into an applied patch, let alone a released version of git. I forgot to update the matching documentation at the time, though.
