Subject[PATCH 07/20] perf record: Document --group option
Date
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.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.
