"git check-ref-format --branch @{-1}" bit a "BUG()" when run
outside a repository for obvious reasons; clarify the documentation
and make sure we do not even try to expand the at-mark magic in
such a case, but still call the validation logic for branch names.

The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an
example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent
commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list.
Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either
refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the
document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope
the file doesn't change.
Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the
technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same
group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside
parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural
changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely.
Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the
rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary
file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of
the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people
who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help)
don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not
like that.
This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the
benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more
nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

The examples and common practice for adding markers such as "RFC" or
"v2" to the subject of patch emails is to have them within the same
brackets as the "PATCH" text, not after the closing bracket. Further,
the practice of `git format-patch` and the like, as well as what appears
to be the more common pratice on the mailing list, is to use "[RFC
PATCH]", not "[PATCH/RFC]".
Update the SubmittingPatches article to match and to reference the
`format-patch` helper arguments, and also make some minor text
clarifications in the area.

The illustrated history used to explain the `--fork-point` mode
named three keypoint commits B3, B2 and B1 from the oldest to the
newest, which was hard to read. Relabel them to B0, B1, B2. Also
illustrate the history after the rebase using the `--fork-point`
facility was made.
The text already mentions use of reflog, but the description is not
clear what benefit we are trying to gain by using reflog. Clarify
that it is to find the commits that were known to be at the tip of
the remote-tracking branch. This in turn necessitates users to know
the ramifications of the underlying assumptions, namely, expiry of
reflog entries will make it impossible to determine which commits
were at the tip of the remote-tracking branches and we fail when in
doubt (instead of giving a random and incorrect result without even
warning). Another limitation is that it won't be useful if you did
not fork from the tip of a remote-tracking branch but from in the
middle.
Describe them.

Asciidoctor 1.5.0 and later have a compatibility mode that makes it more
compatible with some Asciidoc syntax, notably the single and double
quote handling. While this doesn't affect any of our current
documentation, it would be beneficial to enable this mode to reduce the
differences between AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor if we make use of those
features in the future.
Since this mode is specified as an attribute, if a version of
Asciidoctor doesn't understand it, it will simply be ignored.

The descriptions of the options '--parents', '--children' and
'--graph' say "see 'History Simplification' below", although the
referred section is in fact above the description of these options.
Send readers in the right direction by saying "above" instead of
"below".

Change the word "bla" to "section.variable"; "bla" is a placeholder
for a variable name but it wasn't clear for everyone.
While we're here, also reformat this sample command line to use
monospace instead of italics, to better match the rest of the file.
Use a space instead of a dash in "git config", as is common in the
rest of Git's documentation.

The "--force" option can also be used when the named branch does not
yet exist, and the point of the option is the user can (re)point the
branch to the named commit even if it does. Add 'even' before 'if'
to clarify. Also, insert another comma after "Without -f" before
"the command refuses..." to make the text easier to parse.
Incidentally, this change should help certain versions of
docbook-xsl-stylesheets that render the original without any
whitespace between "-f" and "git".
