The linked page has not been showing the promised "more complete
list" for more than 6 months by now, and nobody has resurrected
the list there nor elsewhere since then.

The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as
characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the
documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file
name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as
part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).

The context of the example to push into refs/remotes/satellite/
hierarchy of the other repository needs to be spelled out explicitly
for the value of this example to be fully appreciated. Make it so.

The current version contains the sentence:
Further suppose that the other person already pushed changes leading to
A back to the original repository you two obtained the original commit
X.
which doesn't parse for me; I've changed it to
Further suppose that the other person already pushed changes leading to
A back to the original repository from which you two obtained the
original commit X.

In e858af6 (commit: document a couple of options) the description of the
--no-post-rewrite option was put inside the paragraph for the --amend
option. Move it down after the paragraph.

This change was already done by 0e615b252f (Matthieu Moy, Tue Nov 2
2010, Replace "remote tracking" with "remote-tracking"), but new
instances of remote tracking (without dash) were introduced in the
meantime.

Use "-b <branch>" instead of "-b branch". This brings the usage
strings in line with other options, e.g. "--reference <repository>".

These were used to keep track of the last commit a release notes
entry was written for, and should have been removed when cutting
the final release.

A repository created with "git clone --single" had its fetch
refspecs set up just like a clone without "--single", leading the
subsequent "git fetch" to slurp all the other branches, defeating
the whole point of specifying "only this branch".
* rt/maint-clone-single:
clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
It was unclear in the documentation for "git blame" that it is
unnecessary for users to use the "--follow" option.
* jc/blame-follows-renames:
git blame: document that it always follows origin across whole-file renames
We support backslash escape, but we hide the details behind the phrase
"a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3)". So it may not
be obvious how one can get literal # or ! at the beginning of pattern.
Add a few lines on how to work around the magic characters.

Teach the commands from the "log" family the "--grep-reflog" option
to limit output by string that appears in the reflog entry when the
"--walk-reflogs" option is in effect.
* nd/grep-reflog:
revision: make --grep search in notes too if shown
log --grep-reflog: reject the option without -g
revision: add --grep-reflog to filter commits by reflog messages
grep: prepare for new header field filter
