glossary: a revision is just a commit

The current definition of 'revision' sounds like it is saying that a
revision is a tree object.  In reality it is just a commit.

This should be especially useful for people used to other revision
control systems trying to see how familiar concepts translate into git
terms.

remote: add a test for extra arguments, according to docs

This adds one test or comment for each subcommand of git-remote
according to its current documentation.  All but 'set-branches' and
'update' are listed as taking only a fixed number of arguments; for
those we can write a test with one more (bogus) argument, and see if
the command notices that.

They fail on several counts: 'add' does not check for extra arguments,
and 'show' and 'prune' actually iterate over remotes (i.e., take any
number of args).  We'll fix them in the next two patches.

The -f machinery is only there to make the tests readable while still
ensuring they pass as a whole, and will be removed in the final patch.

remote: check for superfluous arguments in 'git remote add'

The 'git remote add' subcommand did not check for superfluous command
line arguments.  Make it so.

remote: 'show' and 'prune' can take more than one remote

The 'git remote show' and 'prune' subcommands are documented as taking
only a single remote name argument, but that is not the case; they
will simply iterate the action over all remotes given.  Update the
documentation and tests to match.

With the last user of the -f flag gone, we also remove the code
supporting it.

completion: zsh: don't override suffix on _detault

zsh is smart enough to add the right suffix while completing, there's no
point in trying to do the same as bash.
