Cosmetic in man page. Sync usage() with man page.


# 24446 31-Mar-1997 peter

Activate the -h flag which tells chown/chgrp to work on the symlink itself
using lchown(). Most of the code was already here, the option was
recognised but ignored for SYSV/POSIX.2(?) compatability.


# 22997 22-Feb-1997 peter

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
