The exact definition of "refspec" can be found in git-fetch and
git-push manpages. So don't duplicate this here in the glossary.
Actually the definition of "pathspec" should be moved to a separate
file akin to the way it's done with "refspec". But this will only be
wortwhile when there's more to say about it. So for the time being
just improve the first sentence a little bit; fix the indentation of
the first paragraph after the bullet list and remove the one-item
list of magic signatures with its - for the user - unnecessary
introduction of "magic word 'top'".

Use "SHA-1" instead of "SHA1" whenever we talk about the hash function.
When used as a programming symbol, we keep "SHA1".

The name of the hash function is "SHA-1", not "SHA1".
Also to people who look up "object name" in the glossary,
the details of which hash function is applied on what to
compute "object name" is not important but the fact that the
name is meant to be an unique identifier for the contents
stored in the object is.

* maint-1.8.1:
fast-export: fix argument name in error messages
Documentation: distinguish between ref and offset deltas in pack-format
|
|
eb32d236 introduced the OBJ_OFS_DELTA object that uses a relative offset to
identify the base object instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference. The pack file
documentation only mentions the SHA1 based reference in its description of the
deltified object entry.
Update the pack format documentation to clarify that the deltified object
representation refers to its base using either a relative negative offset or
the absolute SHA1 identifier.

Make it a bit clearer that --worktree-attributes is about files in the
working tree (checked out files, possibly changed) and not the current
working directory ($PWD). Link to the ATTRIBUTES section, which has
more details.

The explanation for 'git commit --amend' talks about preparing a tree
object, which shouldn't be how user-facing documentation talks about
commit.
Reword it to say it works as usual, but replaces the current commit.

When asking Git to merge a tag (such as a signed tag or annotated tag),
it will always create a merge commit even if fast-forward was possible.
It's like having --no-ff present on the command line.
It's a difference from the default behavior described in git-merge.txt.
It should be documented as an exception of "FAST-FORWARD MERGE" section
and "--ff" option description.

"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.
