18a2197e6d Documentation: rev-list-options: Fix -g paragraph formatting
- Add an escape to @{now}.  Without the escape, the brace does
  something magic and eats half the sentence up to the closing brace
  at 'timestamp}'.

- Join the last paragraph with a '+'.

0f4f4d1597 asciidoc markup fixes
I see quite a few pages on k.org site, e.g.

    http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-rerere.html
    (scroll down to find "After this test merge")

are misformatted to lose teletype text '+' that is followed by a comma,
and turns the following paragraph all typeset in teletype.

This patch seems to fix the issue at the site (meaning, with the
particular vintage of asciidoc and docbook toolchain), without breaking
things with the version I have at my primary development machine, but
wider testing is very much appreciated.

After this patch,

    git grep '`+`,' -- Documentation

should report noting.

eabbc99a21 fix diff-tree --stdin documentation
Long time ago, the feature of "diff-tree --stdin" to take a commit and its
parents on one line was broken, and did not support the common:

    git rev-list --parents $commits... -- $paths... |
    git diff-tree --stdin -v -p

usage pattern by Porcelains properly.  For diff-tree to talk sensibly
about commits, it needs to see commits, not just trees; the code was fixed
to take list of commits on the standard input in 1.2.0.

However we left the documentation stale for a long time, until Karl
Hasselström finally noticed it very recently.

git-add -i ranges expect number-number. But for the supremely lazy, typing in

8bd867ee0e Documentation/git-cherry-pick.txt et al.: Fix misleading -n description
The manual page of git-cherry-pick and git-revert asserts that -n works
primarily on the working tree, while in fact the primary object it operates
on is the index, and the changes only "accidentally" propagate to the
working tree. This e.g. leads innocent #git IRC folks to believe that you
can use -n to prepare changes for git-add -i staging.

e0cbc39768 Add pretty format %aN which gives the author name, respecting .mailmap
The pretty format %an does not respect .mailmap, but gives the exact
author name recorded in the commit.  Sometimes it is more desirable,
however, to look if the email has another name mapped to it in .mailmap.

This commit adds %aN (and %cN for the committer name) to do exactly that.

a0d2ceb276 doc/rev-parse: clarify reflog vs --until for specifying revisions

the commit date, so let's help them out with a "you may be

aafe9fbaf4 Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.

It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.

[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing.  Hell really _has_ frozen
    over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
