The "-u" option is described only in terms of "updating"
files, which in turn is described only as "similar to what
git commit -a does". Let's be a little more specific about
what updating entails.

The 'git gui' has a number of options that can be specified using the
options dialog. Sometimes it is convenient to be able to specify these
from the command line, therefor document these options.

Before this patch in "git-add.txt" and "git-format-patch.txt", the
commands used in the examples were "git-CMD" instead of "git CMD".
This patch fixes that.
In "git-pull.txt" only the last example had the code sample in an
asciidoc "Listing Block", and in the other two files, none.
This patch fixes that by putting all code samples in listing
blocks.

Most users should be using git-gc instead of directly
calling prune. For those who really do want more information
on pruning, let's point them at git-fsck, which goes into
slightly more detail on reachability.
And since we're pointing users there, let's make sure
reflogs are mentioned in git-fsck(1).

Currently "git rev-parse --verify <something>" is often used with
its error output redirected to /dev/null. This patch makes it
easier to do that.
The -q|--quiet option is designed to work the same way as it does
for "git symbolic-ref".

I often find myself pulling patches off of other peoples trees using
cherry-pick, and following it with an immediate 'git commit --amend -s'
command. Eliminate the need for a double commit by allowing signoff on a
cherry-pick or revert.

Coming from CVS, I found the git glossary vital to learning git and learning
how terms in git correlate to the cvs terminology with which I am familiar.
This patch links the glossary from the cvs-migration page so cvs users will
be able to fine the glossary as soon as they start looking at git documents.

Since git-gc now always calls prune, even with --auto, unreferenced objects
may be removed by more operations than just git-gc. This is important for
clones created using --shared or --reference.

This patch adds a remote.*.mirror configuration option that,
when set, automatically puts git-push in --mirror mode for that
remote.
Furthermore, the option is set automatically by `git remote
add --mirror'.
The code in remote.c to parse remote.*.skipdefaultupdate
had a subtle problem: a comment in the code indicated that
special care was needed for boolean options, but this care was
not used in parsing the option. Since I was touching related
code, I did this fix too.
[jc: and I further fixed up the "ignore boolean" code.]

These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches
whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD.
The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches
from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge
candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your
integration work.
Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches
which you might want to delete.
