It's better to start the man page with a description of what
submodules actually are, instead of saying what they are not.
Reorder the paragraphs such that
- the first short paragraph introduces the submodule concept,
- the second paragraph highlights the usage of the submodule command,
- the third paragraph giving background information, and finally
- the fourth paragraph discusing alternatives such as subtrees and
remotes, which we don't want to be confused with.
This ordering deepens the knowledge on submodules with each paragraph.
First the basic questions like "How/what" will be answered, while the
underlying concepts will be taught at a later time.
Making sure it is not confused with subtrees and remotes is not really
enhancing knowledge of submodules itself, but rather painting the big
picture of git concepts, so you could also argue to have it as the second
paragraph. Personally I think this may confuse readers, specially
newcomers though.
Additionally to reordering the paragraphs, they have been slightly
reworded.

When http-backend spawns "upload-pack" to do ref
negotiation, it streams the http request body to
upload-pack, who then streams the http response back to the
client as it reads. In theory, git can go full-duplex; the
client can consume our response while it is still sending
the request. In practice, however, HTTP is a half-duplex
protocol. Even if our client is ready to read and write
simultaneously, we may have other HTTP infrastructure in the
way, including the webserver that spawns our CGI, or any
intermediate proxies.
In at least one documented case[1], this leads to deadlock
when trying a fetch over http. What happens is basically:
1. Apache proxies the request to the CGI, http-backend.
2. http-backend gzip-inflates the data and sends
the result to upload-pack.
3. upload-pack acts on the data and generates output over
the pipe back to Apache. Apache isn't reading because
it's busy writing (step 1).
This works fine most of the time, because the upload-pack
output ends up in a system pipe buffer, and Apache reads
it as soon as it finishes writing. But if both the request
and the response exceed the system pipe buffer size, then we
deadlock (Apache blocks writing to http-backend,
http-backend blocks writing to upload-pack, and upload-pack
blocks writing to Apache).
We need to break the deadlock by spooling either the input
or the output. In this case, it's ideal to spool the input,
because Apache does not start reading either stdout _or_
stderr until we have consumed all of the input. So until we
do so, we cannot even get an error message out to the
client.
The solution is fairly straight-forward: we read the request
body into an in-memory buffer in http-backend, freeing up
Apache, and then feed the data ourselves to upload-pack. But
there are a few important things to note:
1. We limit the in-memory buffer to prevent an obvious
denial-of-service attack. This is a new hard limit on
requests, but it's unlikely to come into play. The
default value is 10MB, which covers even the ridiculous
100,000-ref negotation in the included test (that
actually caps out just over 5MB). But it's configurable
on the off chance that you don't mind spending some
extra memory to make even ridiculous requests work.
2. We must take care only to buffer when we have to. For
pushes, the incoming packfile may be of arbitrary
size, and we should connect the input directly to
receive-pack. There's no deadlock problem here, though,
because we do not produce any output until the whole
packfile has been read.
For upload-pack's initial ref advertisement, we
similarly do not need to buffer. Even though we may
generate a lot of output, there is no request body at
all (i.e., it is a GET, not a POST).

Fix remaining instances where "pack-file" is used instead of
"packfile". Some places remain where we still use "pack-file",
This is the case when we explicitly refer to a file with a
".pack" extension as opposed to a data source providing a pack
data stream.

There are several "raw formats", and describing --raw as "Generate the
raw format" in the documentation for git-log seems to imply that it
generates the raw *log* format.
Clarify the wording by saying "raw diff format" explicitly, and make a
special-case for "git log": "git log --raw" does not just change the
format, it shows something which is not shown by default.

Since b814da8 (pull: add pull.ff configuration, 2014-01-15), running
git-pull with the configuration pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is
equivalent to passing --no-ff and --ff-only to git-merge. However, if
pull.ff=true, no switch is passed to git-merge. This leads to the
confusing behavior where pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is able to
override merge.ff, while pull.ff=true is unable to.
Fix this by adding the --ff switch if pull.ff=true, and add a test to
catch future regressions.
Furthermore, clarify in the documentation that pull.ff overrides
merge.ff.

The former seems to just be syntactic sugar for the latter.
And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it
would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots,
and the resulting source is not significantly harder to
read, it's worth doing.
Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it
has an extra newline), but the rendered result for both HTML
and docbook should be the same (since the newline is not
syntactically significant there).

Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to
write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a
syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This
makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under
Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no
changes.

Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

All of the other options in the list put short and long as
two separate headings.
We can also drop the backslashing of `--`. It isn't used
elsewhere and is unnecessary for modern asciidoc (plus it
confuses asciidoctor).

In AsciiDoc, it is OK to say:

but AsciiDoctor is more strict. Let's match the underline to
the title (which also makes the source prettier to read).

Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no
such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the
unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of
text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole
phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid
of ugly backslash escaping).

AsciiDoc misparses some text that contains a `literal`
word followed by a fancy `single quote' word, and treats
everything from the start of the literal to the end of the
quote as a single-quoted phrase.
We can work around this by switching the latter to be a
literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what
was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the
earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the
output is arguably better, as we will format our commit
references as <code> blocks.

The asciidoctor renderer is more picky than classic asciidoc,
and insists that the start and end of a code fence be the
same size.
Found with this hacky perl script:
foreach my $fn (@ARGV) {
open(my $fh, '<', $fn);
my ($fence, $fence_lineno, $prev);
while (<$fh>) {
chomp;
if (/^----+$/) {
if ($fence_lineno) {
if ($_ ne $fence) {
print "$fn:$fence_lineno:mismatched fence: ",
length($fence), " != ", length($_), "\n";
}
$fence_lineno = undef;
}
# hacky check to avoid title-underlining
elsif ($prev eq '' || $prev eq '+') {
$fence = $_;
$fence_lineno = $.;
}
}
$prev = $_;
}
}
