Because our CLI option handling framework is currently incapable of showing
different help messages depending on the subcommand involved, and -F is used
for both "svn commit -F commit_message_file", and "svn propset -F
property_value_file".
Hence the vague "data".

Yes, this is a bit silly - but no one has yet got around to improving the
code.
