On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

Descriptions for all the settings fell under the initial "Each
submodule section also contains the following required keys:". The
example shows sections with just 'path' and 'url' entries, which are
indeed required, but we should still make the required/optional
distinction explicit to clarify that the rest of them are optional.

The usage sample of add_submodule_odb() function in the Submodules
section expects non-zero return value for success, but the function

git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed
to explain to me what the command does. It contains too much
explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what
goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise
do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base).
Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why
this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short
paragraphs. In return, provide much longer examples of how it
fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it
compares to reading the same from git-log.
Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does
not mean something that comes from git-merge(1). Instead, say
"apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow
concepts.
While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream
branch we treat as the default. I literally just learned that
we support having several, so let's not confuse new users
here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not
document this.

Various fixes:
- fix typos (e.g. "show" -> "shown")
- use "regular expression(s)" instead of "regexp" where appropriate
- reword some sentences for easier reading
- fix/improve some grammatical issues (e.g. comma usage)
- add missing articles (e.g. "the")
- change "E-mail" to "email"

Some the labeled list entries have a blank line between the label
and the body text, and some don't. Use the latter style for
consistency; incidentally, syntax highlighting in Vim works better
if there is no blank line there.
Typeset literal options, commands, and path names in monospace.
When using `literal string` mark-up to do so, there is no need to
escape AsciiDoc special characters with backslashes, so make sure we
don't do so.
Replace some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes
(e.g. ``foo'').

The man pages contain inconsistent usage of backticks vs. single quotes
around options, commands, etc. that are in paragraphs. This commit states
that backticks should always be used around literal examples.
This commit states that "--" and friends should not be escaped
(e.g. use `--pretty=oneline` instead of `\--pretty=oneline`).
This commit also states correct usage for typesetting command usage
examples with inline substitutions.

"--log-size" was added in commit 9fa3465, and the commit message
contained a satisfactory explanation; however, the man page entry
for it did not describe the actual output format, what the output
meant and what the option was meant to be used for.

The second illustration that shows the history after "git pull"
spelled the remote-tracking branch with "remotes/" prefix, which
is not necessary. Drop it.
To match the assumption that a remote-tracking branch is used to
keep track of the advancement of the master at the origin, update
the first illustration that shows the history before "git pull"
to show the distinction between the master currently at origin and
the stale origin/master remote-tracking branch.
