Description

The help message for the command "hdfs dfs -help getmerge" is displayed like this:
"-getmerge <src> <localdst> [addnl]: Get all the files in the directories that
match the source file pattern and merge and sort them to only
one file on local fs. <src> is kept."
and the information about [addnl] option is missed,despite the fact that [addnl] option is implemented.

Therefore,the expected message should be displayed like this:
"-getmerge <src> <localdst> [addnl]: Get all the files in the directories that
match the source file pattern and merge and sort them to only
one file on local fs. <src> is kept.
addnl Optionally addnl can be set to enable adding a newline
character at the end of each file."
