The git-shell(1) manpage says
EXAMPLE
To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting
instead:
+
$ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell
$ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands
[...]
The stray "+" has been there ever since the example was added in
v1.8.3-rc0~210^2 (shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a
custom message, 2013-03-09). The "+" sign between paragraphs is
needed in asciidoc to attach extra paragraphs to a list item but here
it is not needed and ends up rendered as a literal "+". Remove it.
A quick search with "grep -e '<p>+' /usr/share/doc/git/html/*.html"
doesn't find any other instances of this problem.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

The original motivation of using the prompt was to confirm to run a
tool on this particular (as opposed to another) path, but the user
can also take the prompt as to confirm to run this (as opposed to
some other) tool. The latter of which of course is irritating for
those who told which exact tool to use, which is the reason why we
are flipping the default.
During the review discussion of the patch, many people (including
the maintainer) missed that a user can find the prompt useful way to
skip running the tool on particular paths. Clarify it by adding a
brief half-sentence to the description.

Versions of Perl's Getopt::Long module before 2.37 do not contain
this fix that first appeared in Getopt::Long version 2.37:
* Bugfix: With gnu_compat, --foo= will no longer trigger "Option
requires an argument" but return the empty string.
Instead of using --prefix="" use --prefix "" when testing an
explictly empty prefix string in order to work with older versions
of Perl's Getopt::Long module.
Also add a paragraph on this workaround to the documentation of
git-svn itself.

git-svn by default puts its Subversion-tracking refs directly in
refs/remotes/*. This runs counter to Git's convention of using
refs/remotes/$remote/* for storing remote-tracking branches.
Furthermore, combining git-svn with regular git remotes run the risk of
clobbering refs under refs/remotes (e.g. if you have a git remote
called "tags" with a "v1" branch, it will overlap with the git-svn's
tracking branch for the "v1" tag from Subversion.
Even though the git-svn refs stored in refs/remotes/* are not "proper"
remote-tracking branches (since they are not covered by a proper git
remote's refspec), they clearly represent a similar concept, and would
benefit from following the same convention.
For example, if git-svn tracks Subversion branch "foo" at
refs/remotes/foo, and you create a local branch refs/heads/foo to add
some commits to be pushed back to Subversion (using "git svn dcommit),
then it is clearly unhelpful of Git to throw
warning: refname 'foo' is ambiguous.
every time you checkout, rebase, or otherwise interact with the branch.
The existing workaround for this is to supply the --prefix=quux/ to
git svn init/clone, so that git-svn's tracking branches end up in
refs/remotes/quux/* instead of refs/remotes/*. However, encouraging
users to specify --prefix to work around a design flaw in git-svn is
suboptimal, and not a long term solution to the problem. Instead,
git-svn should default to use a non-empty prefix that saves
unsuspecting users from the inconveniences described above.
This patch will only affect newly created git-svn setups, as the
--prefix option only applies to git svn init (and git svn clone).
Existing git-svn setups will continue with their existing (lack of)
prefix. Also, if anyone somehow prefers git-svn's old layout, they
can recreate that by explicitly passing an empty prefix (--prefix "")
on the git svn init/clone command line.
The patch changes the default value for --prefix from "" to "origin/",
updates the git-svn manual page, and fixes the fallout in the git-svn
testcases.
(Note that this patch might be easier to review using the --word-diff
and --word-diff-regex=. diff options.)

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")

Make sure that the help text given to describe the "<param>" part

update-index: teach --cacheinfo a new syntax "mode,sha1,path"
parse-options: multi-word argh should use dash to separate words
In the original version of this command, for the single case of the
"update" command's <newvalue>, the empty string was interpreted as
being equivalent to 40 "0"s. This shorthand is unnecessary (binary
input will usually be generated programmatically anyway), and it
complicates the parser and the documentation.
So gently deprecate this usage: remove its description from the
documentation and emit a warning if it is found. But for reasons of
backwards compatibility, continue to accept it.
