The old wording was somehow implying that <start> and <end> were not
regular expressions. Also, the common case is to use a plain function
name here so <funcname> makes sense (the fact that it is a regular
expression is documented in line-range-format.txt).

Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave
some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit. I had
to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few
more tools. I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it
does not hurt to share them, just in case.

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.
In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

Commit b27cfb0 (git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits
option, 2012-04-20), added the --keep-redundant-commits
option, and switched the default behavior (without that
option) to silently ignore empty commits. Later, the second
half of that commit was reverted in ac2b0e8 (cherry-pick:
regression fix for empty commits, 2012-05-29), but the
documentation added for --keep-redundant-commits was never
updated to match. Let's do so now.

Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit
introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit
merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens
if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual
commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only
any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the
merge commit are ignored.
Get this straight in the docs.
Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is
true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.
