Junio C Hamano fdd089793c Documentation: git-fetch/pull updates.
We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line
right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the
broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such
lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion.

Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an
explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines.

Add a couple of cross references.

git-merge(1)
============
NAME
----
git-merge - Grand Unified Merge Driver
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-merge' [-n] [--no-commit] [-s <strategy>]... <msg> <head> <remote> <remote>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This is the top-level user interface to the merge machinery
which drives multiple merge strategy scripts.
OPTIONS
-------
include::merge-pull-opts.txt[]
<msg>::
The commit message to be used for the merge commit (in case
it is created). The `git-fmt-merge-msg` script can be used
to give a good default for automated `git-merge` invocations.
<head>::
our branch head commit.
<remote>::
other branch head merged into our branch. You need at
least one <remote>. Specifying more than one <remote>
obviously means you are trying an Octopus.
