Subject: [PATCH 07/20] perf record: Document --group option
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>
The 'perf record --group' option lacks documentation and confuses users.
As -e/--event option already supports group spec, it should not be used
anymore.
Also add a short description of event group itself.
