Thanks for catching this! I actually noticed the CI was failing on 
documentation
checks while testing on GitLab before sending v3 to the list. I 
initially thought
it was an AsciiDoc line continuation issue and suggested adding a `+` at 
the end
of the line, but Christian pointed out that the real issue was likely 
the mismatch
between the synopsis and the help output from the command itself.

I split the SYNOPSIS across two lines in the documentation for readability:

     (EXPERIMENTAL!) 'git replay' ([--contained] --onto <newbase> | 
--advance <branch>)
             [--update-refs[=<mode>]] <revision-range>...

But didn't update the usage string in builtin/replay.c to match. Your 
patch adding
"\n" and the proper indentation is exactly what's needed:

     "(EXPERIMENTAL!) git replay ([--contained] --onto <newbase> | 
--advance <branch>)\n"
     "\t\t[--update-refs[=<mode>]] <revision-range>..."

I will squash this into the next version. I should have run t0450 
locally after
Christian's hint about the synopsis check - I was focused on t3650 and the
functional tests but missed this formatting requirement.

Thanks,
Siddharth
