-The <feature> part of the command may be any string matching
-^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z-]*$ and should be understood by fast-import.

-Feature work identical as their option counterparts with the
-exception of the import-marks feature, see below.
-
-The following features are currently supported:
-
-* date-format
-* import-marks
-* export-marks
-* relative-marks
-* no-relative-marks
-* force
-
-The import-marks behaves differently from when it is specified as
-commandline option in that only one "feature import-marks" is allowed
-per stream. Also, any --import-marks= specified on the commandline
-will override those from the stream (if any).
+The <feature> part of the command may be any one of the following:
+
+date-format::
+export-marks::
+relative-marks::
+no-relative-marks::
+force::
+ Act as though the corresponding command-line option with
+ a leading '--' was passed on the command line
+ (see OPTIONS, above).
+
+import-marks::
+ Like --import-marks except in two respects: first, only one
+ "feature import-marks" command is allowed per stream;
+ second, an --import-marks= command-line option overrides
+ any "feature import-marks" command in the stream.
