It doesn't really matter either way, except for one consideration: if
someone uses the manual as a reference, and reads only about a single
command, they would be surprised to see the description of all the
options except one.

For this reason, I think it is better to do it the way Jakob wrote the
text.

If you are still unconvinced, please tell why you prefer to have the
description of --reverse in one place.  Maybe I'm missing something.
