Looks like the error was all mine, all the way back to my a133737b80
(doc: include --guide option description for "git help", 2013-04-02)
The majority of that change referred to individual 'guide'(singular),
however the option to list them is in the plural. I didn't find any
other errorss (other than the referenced commit's subject;-) , but a
note as in this commit message about the singular/plural confusion may
be worth having if there is a re-roll.
