 -------
 
-create <file>::
+create [options] <file> <git-rev-list-args>::
 	Used to create a bundle named 'file'.  This requires the
 	'git-rev-list-args' arguments to define the bundle contents.
+	'options' contains the options specific to the 'git bundle create'
+	subcommand.
 
 verify <file>::
 	Used to check that a bundle file is valid and will apply

 	necessarily everything in the pack (in this case, 'git bundle' acts
 	like 'git fetch-pack').
 
+--progress::
+	Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+	by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+	is specified. This flag forces progress status even if
+	the standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
+
+--all-progress::
+	When --stdout is specified then progress report is
+	displayed during the object count and compression phases
+	but inhibited during the write-out phase. The reason is
+	that in some cases the output stream is directly linked
+	to another command which may wish to display progress
+	status of its own as it processes incoming pack data.
+	This flag is like --progress except that it forces progress
+	report for the write-out phase as well even if --stdout is
+	used.
+
+--all-progress-implied::
+	This is used to imply --all-progress whenever progress display
+	is activated.  Unlike --all-progress this flag doesn't actually
+	force any progress display by itself.
+
+-q::
+--quiet::
+	This flag makes the command not to report its progress
