The note that explains that changes introduced by removed commits are
preserved should be placed directly after the paragraph that describes
such commits removal. Otherwise the reference to "the commits" appears
out of context.
Also the big example that follows "Consider this history" is about
rewriting part of the history DAG. Move the paragraph that
describes the operation close to it.

People who are not used to working with shell may intellectually
understand how the command line argument is massaged by the shell
but still have a hard time visualizing the difference between
letting the shell expand fileglobs and having Git see the fileglob
to use as a pathspec.

The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the
bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without
the explicit "--" disambiguation; it is not a supporting explanation
for the entire bulletted list, and it is wrong to make it a separate
paragraph outside the list.

When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like
git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk
to show all refs in order by commit date.
But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as
<command producing revisions in order> |
git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin
To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

Currently, it will only do a checkout if the sha1 registered in the containing
repository doesn't match the HEAD of the submodule, regardless of whether the
submodule is dirty. As discussed on the mailing list, the '--force' flag is a
strong indicator that the state of the submodule is suspect, and should be reset
to HEAD.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:
$ cd Documentation/howto
$ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions
Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

One fictitious command "proxy-command" is enclosed inside a double

The second paragraph in the git(1) description section were meant to
