Edit for conciseness.
Add a "Making changes" section header.
When possible, make sure that stuff in text boxes could be entered literally.
(Don't use "..." unless we want a user to type that.)
Move 'commit -a' example into a literal code section, clarify that it finds
modified files automatically.

This adds ability to do import "in chunks" (default 1000 revisions),
after each chunk git repo will be repacked. The option -R is used to
change default value of chunk size (or how often repository will
repacked).

If a branch other than "master" is checked out in the origin repository,
git-clone makes a local copy of that branch rather than the origin's
"master"
branch. This patch describes the actual behavior.

Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example.
Remove large example of use of remotes; that particular case is

Sometimes its necessary to supply a value as a power of two in a
configuration parameter. In this case the user may want to use the
standard suffixes such as K, M, or G to indicate that the numerical
value should be multiplied by a constant base before being used.
Shell scripts/etc. can also benefit from this automatic option
parsing with `git repo-config --int`.

The line:
[remote "<remote>"]
was getting swallowed up by asciidoc, causing a critical line in the
explanation for how to store the .git/remotes information in .git/config
to go missing from the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages.

Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.
At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8). Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.
The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

Junio asked for a 'git gc' utility which users can execute on a
regular basis to perform basic repository actions such as:
* pack-refs --prune
* reflog expire
* repack -a -d
* prune
* rerere gc
So here is a command which does exactly that. The parameters fed
to reflog's expire subcommand can be chosen by the user by setting
configuration options in .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig), as users may
want different expiration windows for each repository but shouldn't
be bothered to remember what they are all of the time.

Recent "git push" keeps transferred objects packed much more aggressively
than before. Monitoring output from git-count-objects -v for number of
loose objects is not enough to decide when to repack -- having too many
small packs is also a good cue for repacking.

Fix minor mark-up mistakes and adjust to v1.5.0 BCP, namely:
- use "git add" instead of "git update-index";
- use "git merge" instead of "git pull .";

Instead of just warning, refuse to add otherwise ignored files
by default, and allow it with an -f option.

One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a
file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to
the index. With this, such a file can be added by explicitly
spelling its name to git-add.
Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to
the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and
two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree:
$ git add foo.o
$ git add '*.o'
$ git add bar
Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.

This adds and uses the install-doc-quick.sh file to
Documentation/, which is usable for people who track either the
'html' or 'man' heads in Junio's repository (prefixed with
'origin/' if cloned locally). You may override this by
specifying DOC_REF in the make environment or in config.mak.
GZ may also be set in the environment (or config.mak) if you
wish to gzip the documentation after installing it.
