Unlike gcc, asciidoc does not atomically write its output file or
delete it when interrupted. If it is interrupted in the middle of
writing an XML file, the result will be truncated input for xsltproc.

t1010-mktree: Adjust expected result to code and documentation
combined diff: correctly handle truncated file
Document new "already-merged" rule for branch -d
The description for core.autocrlf refers to reads from / writes to
"the filesystem", the only use of this rather ambiguous term, which
technically could be referring to the git object database. (All other
mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS)..").
Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term
"work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in
the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which
makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters
occurs in.

v1.7.0-rc0~18^2 (branch -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the
branch it merges with, 2009-12-29) taught ‘git branch’ a new heuristic
for when it is safe to delete a branch without forcing the issue. It
is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if:
- the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking,
usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or
- there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is
fully merged in the current HEAD.
Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules.

- use "<options>" instead of just "options".
- use "[<repository> [<refspec>...]]" to indicate that <repository> and
<refspec> are optional, and that <refspec> cannot be specified
without specifying <repository>.
Note that when called without specifying <repository> (eg. "git fetch
-f"), it is accurate to say that the "git fetch [<options>]
[<repository> ...]" case takes precedence over "git fetch [<options>]
<group>".

Even if you use imap-send to throw your drafts in the outbox, using their
web interface will mangle your patches. Clarify that the imap-send is
meant to be used together with a real MUA that can use IMAP drafts, and
remove instructions related to the web interface, which is irrelevant.
Add description of send-email as an alternative.
Use --cover-letter, and do not use -C nor --no-color, on the example
command line for format-patch.
