Cover letter [PATCH v3 0/3] Documentation: stuck arguments and gitk log -L

This gathers three rather separate patches.

1/3 is an unrelated fix for a string comparison issue that I noticed while surveying the state of stickiness.

2/3 is the "document" plan hinted at here:

Quoted 9 lines

So my short-term plan just became: document instead of fix; clean up manpages towards the stuck form for long options; have gitk only parse -Lstuck.

Medium term we can move gitk to a different option parser, resolving at least that inconsistency.

Longer term we can see about moving some more of the remaining craziness towards parseopt, getting consistency for free.

3/3 is the change to gitk(1) to match the 'gitk -L' support that I'm sending out separately (rebased to the gitk repo) and that will appear here:

Of course it should only be applied once the corresponding code change is in place.
