RelNotes
Use the {asterisk} entity to avoid mistreating the asterisks
in "(e.g., refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*)" as delimiters
for bold text.
From a quick search with 'git grep -e "\*.*\*"', this seems to
be the last example of this particular formatting problem.

The manual pages of cherry-pick and revert had examples with two revisions
on the same line in the examples section, that looked like this:
git cherry-pick master~4 master~2::
Unfortunately, this is taken as a mark-up to make the part between two
tildes, "4 master", subscript. Use {tilde} to make it explicit that we
do want ~ characters in these places (backslash does not help).

The "[add] ignore-errors" tweakable introduced by v1.5.6-rc0~30^2 (Add
a config option to ignore errors for git-add, 2008-05-12) does not
follow the usual convention for naming values in the git configuration
file.
What convention? Glad you asked.
The section name indicates the affected subsystem.
The subsection name, if any, indicates which of
an unbound set of things to set the value for.
The variable name describes the effect of tweaking
this knob.
The section and variable names can be broken into
words using bumpyCaps in documentation as a hint to
the reader. These word breaks are not significant
at the level of code, since the section and variable
names are not case sensitive.
The name "add.ignore-errors" includes a dash, meaning a naive
configuration file like
[add]
ignoreErrors
does not have any effect. Avoid such confusion by renaming to the
more consistent add.ignoreErrors, but keep the old version for
backwards compatibility.

When an initial --in-reply-to is supplied, make it apply only to the
first message; --[no-]chain-reply-to setting are honored by second and
subsequent messages; this is also how the git-format-patch option with
the same name behaves.
Moreover, when $initial_reply_to is asked to the user interactively it
is asked as the "Message-ID to be used as In-Reply-To for the _first_
email", this makes the user think that the second and subsequent
patches are not using it but are considered as replies to the first
message or chained according to the --[no-]chain-reply setting.
Look at the v2 series in the illustration to see what the new behavior
ensures:
(before the patch) | (after the patch)
[PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did... | [PATCH 0/2] Here is what I did...
[PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests | [PATCH 1/2] Clean up and tests
[PATCH 2/2] Implementation | [PATCH 2/2] Implementation
[PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll | [PATCH v2 0/3] Here is a reroll
[PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up | [PATCH v2 1/3] Clean up
[PATCH v2 2/3] New tests | [PATCH v2 2/3] New tests
[PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation | [PATCH v2 3/3] Implementation
This is the typical behaviour we want when we send a series with cover
letter in reply to some discussion, the new patch series should appear
as a separate subtree in the discussion.
Also update the documentation on --in-reply-to to describe the new
behavior.

The previous text was not exactly accurate; it is OK to
change space and minus lines, but only in certain ways.
This patch takes a whole new approach, which is to describe
the sorts of conceptual operations you might want to
perform. It also includes a healthy dose of warnings about
how things can go wrong.
Since the size of the text is getting quite long, it also
splits this out into an "editing patches" section. This
makes more sense with the current structure, anyway, which
already splits out the interactive mode description.

Git's diff machinery has supported a -s (silence diff output) option
as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.
The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:
git show -s rev
Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section. This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:
The command takes options applicable to the git
diff-tree command to control how the changes the
commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently
used options.
Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

Since 1.6.5 "git clone" honors the --recursive option to recursively check
out submodules too. As this option can easily be misinterpreted when it is
added to other commands like "git grep", add the new --recurse-submodules
option as an alias for --recursive so the same option can be used for all
commands recursing into submodules.
