<filepattern>... is optional (e.g. when the --all or --update
options are used) so use square brackets in the synopsis.

So <filepattern> is needed in all other cases. The '-u' description
already has
" If no paths are specified, all tracked files in the current
directory and its subdirectories are updated. "
and '-a' refers to '-u'
"(same as --update)"
.

Since it is an optional argument in those cases I'd say it is better to
indicate that it is optional in the synopsis too.
