section expects non-zero return value for success, but the function
actually reports success with zero.

Some the labeled list entries have a blank line between the label
and the body text, and some don't. Use the latter style for
consistency; incidentally, syntax highlighting in Vim works better
if there is no blank line there.
Typeset literal options, commands, and path names in monospace.
When using `literal string` mark-up to do so, there is no need to
escape AsciiDoc special characters with backslashes, so make sure we
don't do so.
Replace some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes
(e.g. ``foo'').

"timezone" is two words, not one (i.e. "time zone" is correct).
Correct this in these files:

-- git-svn.txt
-- gitweb.conf.txt

"git fetch-pack" allows [<host>:]<directory> to point out the source
repository.
Use the term <repository>, which is already used in "git fetch" or "git pull"
to describe URLs supported by Git.

An ancient How-To on serving Git repositories on an HTTP server
lacked a warning that it has been mostly superseded with more
modern way.

The synopsis section of "git unpack-objects" documentation has been
clarified a bit.
* vd/doc-unpack-objects:
Documentation: "pack-file" is not literal in unpack-objects
Documentation: restore a space in unpack-objects usage
Make it clear that "pack-file" is not to be spelled as is in the
unpack-objects usage.

The commit 87b7b84 removed a space in the unpack-objects usage, which
makes the synopsis a bit confusing. This patch simply restores it.

The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull"
spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which
is not necessary. Drop it.
To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to
keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update
the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull"
to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and
the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.

"git branch --track" had a minor regression in v1.8.3.2 and later
that made it impossible to base your local work on anything but a
local branch of the upstream repository you are tracking from.
