"git rev-parse" interprets string in string@{upstream} as a name of
a branch not a ref. For example, refs/heads/master@{upstream} looks
for an upstream branch that is merged by git-pull to ref
refs/heads/refs/heads/master not to refs/heads/master.
However the documentation could mislead a user to believe that the
string is interpreted as ref.

In some repostories users experience that "git status" command takes
long time. The command spends some time searching the file system
for untracked files.
Explain the trade-off struck by the default choice of `normal` to
help users make an appropriate choice better, before talking about
the configuration variable.

If I disable git-shell's interactive mode by removing the
~/git-shell-commands directory, attempts to ssh in to the service
produce a message intended for the administrator:
$ ssh git@myserver
fatal: Interactive git shell is not enabled.
hint: ~/git-shell-commands should exist and have read and execute access.
$
That is helpful for the new admin who is wondering "What? Why isn't
the git-shell I just set up working?", but once the site setup is
complete, it would be better to give the user a friendly hint that she
is on the right track, like GitHub does.
Hi <username>! You've successfully authenticated, but
GitHub does not provide shell access.
An appropriate greeting might even include more complex dynamic
information, like gitolite's list of repositories the user has access
to. Add support for a ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login
command that generates an arbitrary greeting. When the user tries to
log in:
* If the file ~/git-shell-commands/no-interactive-login exists,
run no-interactive-login to let the server say what it likes,
then hang up.
* Otherwise, if ~/git-shell-commands/ is present, start an
interactive read-eval-print loop.
* Otherwise, print the usual configuration hint and hang up.

The original git-shell(1) manpage emphasized that the shell supports
only git transport commands. As the shell gained features, that
emphasis and focus in the manual has been lost. Bring it back by
splitting the manpage into a few short sections and fleshing out each:
- SYNOPSIS, describing how the shell gets used in practice
- DESCRIPTION, which gives an overview of the purpose and guarantees
provided by this restricted shell
- COMMANDS, listing supported commands and restrictions on the
arguments they accept
- INTERACTIVE USE, describing the interactive mode
Also add a "see also" section with related reading.

We describe what gets pushed by default when the command line does
not give any <refspec> under the bullet point of <refspec>.
It is a bit unfriendly to expect users to read on <refspec> when
they are not giving any in the first place. "What gets pushed" is
determined by taking many factors (<refspec> argument being only one
of them) into account, and is a property of the entire command, not
an individual argument. Also we do not describe "Where the push
goes" when the command line does not say.
Give the description on "what gets pushed to where" upfront before
explaining individual arguments and options.
Also update the description of <refspec> to say what it is, what it
is used for, before explaining what shape it takes.

The documentation of '-A' and '-u' is very confusing for someone who
doesn't already know what they do. Describe them with fewer words and
clearer parallelism to each other and to the behavior of plain 'add'.
Also mention the default <pathspec> for '-A' as well as '-u', because
it applies to both.

I tried to always use backticks for:
* Paths and filenames (e.g. `.git/config`)
* Compound refs (e.g. `origin/HEAD`)
* Git commands (e.g. `git log`)
* Command arguments (e.g. `--pretty`)
* URLs (e.g. `git://`), as a subset of command arguments
* Special characters (e.g. `+` in diffs).
* Config options (e.g. `branch.<name>.remote`)
Branch and tag names are sometimes set off with double quotes,
sometimes set off with backticks, and sometimes left bare. I tried to
judge when the intention was introducing new terms or conventions
(double quotes), to reference a recently used command argument
(backticks), or to reference the abstract branch/commit (left bare).
Obviously these are not particularly crisp definitions, so my
decisions are fairly arbitrary ;). When a reference had already been
introduced, I changed further double-quoted instances to backticked
instances.
When new backticks increased the length of a line beyond others in
that block, I re-wrapped blocks to 72 columns.
