Under is better than in because of the nested nature of the .git
directory.
"also using" sounds a little odd, plus we say combined with later on so
just use that.

Rewrite the gc section using unresolved and resolved instead of "not
recorded". Add plurals and missing articles. Make some sentences have
consistent tense. Try and be more active by removing "that" and
simplifying sentences.
The terms "hand-resolve" and "hand resolve" were used, so just use "hand
resolve" to be more consistent.

right (and apply in terms of pop), and use stash/pop in the examples.

cat-file with an object on the command line requires an
option to tell it what to output (type, size, pretty-print,
etc). However, the square brackets in the usage imply that
those options are not required. This patch switches them to
parentheses to indicate "required but grouped-OR" (curly
braces might also work, but this follows the convention used
already by "git stash").
While we're at it, let's change the <sha1> specifier in the
usage to <object>. That's what the documentation uses, and
it does actually use the regular object lookup.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.
It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.
As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.
At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().
