"git merge-recursive" backend recently learned a new heuristics to
infer file movement based on how other files in the same directory
moved. As this is inherently less robust heuristics than the one
based on the content similarity of the file itself (rather than
based on what its neighbours are doing), it sometimes gives an
outcome unexpected by the end users. This has been toned down to
leave the renamed paths in higher/conflicted stages in the index so
that the user can examine and confirm the result.

Robert Dailey reported confusion on the mailing list about a nested
tag which was most likely created by mistake. Jeff King noted that
this isn't a very common case and creating a tag-to-a-tag can be a
user-error.
Suggest that it may be a mistake with an advice message when
creating such a tag. Those who do want to create a tag that point
at another tag regularly can turn it off with the usual advice
mechanism.

The {apostrophe} was needed at the time of a521845800 ("Documentation:
remove stray backslash in show-branch discussion", 2010-08-20). All
other uses of {apostrophe} were removed in 6cf378f0cb ("docs: stop using
asciidoc no-inline-literal", 2012-04-26).
Unfortunately, the {apostrophe} is rendered literally with Asciidoctor
(at least with 1.5.5-2.0.3). Avoid this by using single-quotes.
Escaping the leading single-quote allows the content to render properly
in AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor.

The second paragraph in the CONFIGURATION section intends to emphasize
the word 'must' with bold type. It does so by writing it as *must*, and
this works fine with AsciiDoc. It usually works great with Asciidoctor,
too, but in this particular instance, we have another "*" earlier in the
paragraph. We do escape it, and it is rendered literally just like we
want it to, but Asciidoctor then ends up tripping on the second (or
third) of the asterisks in this paragraph.
Since that asterisk is (part of) a literal example, we can set it in
monospace, by giving it as `*`. Adjust the whole paragraph in this way.
There's lots more monospacing to be done in this document, but since our
main motivation is addressing AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor discrepancies like
this one, let's just convert this one paragraph.

The chance of a repository being corrupted due to a "gc" has nothing
to do with whether or not that "gc" was invoked via "gc --auto", but
whether there's other concurrent operations happening.
This is already noted earlier in the paragraph, so there's no reason
to suggest this here. The user can infer from the rest of the
documentation that "gc" will run automatically unless gc.auto=0 is
set, and we shouldn't confuse the issue by implying that "gc --auto"
is somehow more prone to produce corruption than a normal "gc".
Well, it is in the sense that a blocking "gc" would stop you from
doing anything else in *that* particular terminal window, but users
are likely to have another window, or to be worried about how
concurrent "gc" on a server might cause corruption.

Amend the "NOTES" section to fix up wording that's been with us since
3ffb58be0a ("doc/git-gc: add a note about what is collected",
2008-04-23).
I can't remember when/where anymore (I think Freenode #Git), but at
some point I was having a conversation with someone who was convinced
that "gc" would prune things only referenced by e.g. refs/pull/*, and
pointed to this section as proof.
It turned out that they'd read the "branches and tags" wording here
and thought just refs/{heads,tags}/* and refs/remotes/* etc. would be
kept, which is what we enumerate explicitly.
So let's say "other refs", even though just above we say "objects that
are referenced anywhere in your repository".

Amend the "PACKFILE OPTIMIZATION" section in "fast-import" to explain
that simply running "git gc --aggressive" after a "fast-import" should
properly optimize the repository. This is simpler and more effective
than the existing "repack" advice (which I'm keeping as it helps
explain things) because it e.g. also packs the newly imported refs.

The existing "gc --aggressive" docs come just short of recommending to
users that they run it regularly. I've personally talked to many users
who've taken these docs as an advice to use this option, and have,
usually it's (mostly) a waste of time.
So let's clarify what it really does, and let the user draw their own
conclusions.
Let's also clarify the "The effects [...] are persistent" to
paraphrase a brief version of Jeff King's explanation at [1].

Since 07e7dbf0db (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11) we
somewhat confusingly use the same depth under --aggressive as we do by
default.
As noted in that commit that makes sense, it was wrong to make more
depth the default for "aggressive", and thus save disk space at the
expense of runtime performance, which is usually the opposite of
someone who'd like "aggressive gc" wants.
But that's left us with a mostly-redundant configuration variable, so
let's clearly note in its documentation that it doesn't change the
default.

Change the AsciiDoc formatting so that an example of "gc --auto" isn't
rendered as "git-gc(1) --auto", but as "git gc --auto". This is
consistent with the rest of the links and command examples in this
documentation.
The formatting I'm changing was initially introduced in
d5d5d7b641 ("gc: automatically write commit-graph files", 2018-06-27).
