In http://debbugs.gnu.org/267#15   I proposed to document this feature
in the help message displayed by `C-h'.

But you mentioned `C-h m' (`describe-mode').
Do you mean to describe this feature in the docstrings of
`tags-query-replace', `dired-do-query-replace-regexp',
`vc-dir-query-replace-regexp' and `reftex-query-replace-document' ?

`automatic-all' is already documented in (info "(elisp) Search and Replace")

Do you think it should be also documented in (info "(emacs) Tags Search") ?

Then (info "(emacs) VC Directory Commands") should link to the node
(info "(emacs) Tags Search") like (info "(emacs) Operating on Files") already does.
With these links, this feature could be documented just in one Info node.
