Documentation: consistently refer to check-ref-format

Nanako Shiraishi · gitster · commit b85e6c5f8107 · 2009-08-25T13:06:18.000-07:00
Change the &lt;name&gt; placeholder to &lt;tagname&gt; in the SYNOPSIS section of
git-tag documentation, and describe it in the OPTIONS section in a way
similar to how documentation for git-branch does.

Add SEE ALSO section to list the other documentation pages these two pages
refer to.
