Summary and Info:
The summary help for --sync doesn't reference the fact two -y' (--refresh) can be strung together, forcing an update of the database even if they're already up to date; similarly it doesn't mention the use of -ii or -gg either.

Other commands which can be doubled in the similar way are mentioned, -uu, -cc and -dd are. (-ii is also documented in -Q --help output as well.)

Steps to Reproduce:
pacman -S --help
