The documentation suggests using "git stash apply" in the
--keep-index workflow even though doing so will lead to clutter
in the stash. And given that the changes are about to be
committed anyway "git stash pop" is more sensible.
Additionally the text preceeding the example claims that it
works for "two or more commits", but the example itself is
really tailored for just two. Expanding it just a little
makes it clear how the procedure generalizes to N commits.
Finally the example is annotated with some commentary to
explain things on a line-by-line basis.

Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We
change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual
distinction between names of commands and command lines that
can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent
with other man pages outside Git.
In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash.

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

In listing blocks (set off by rows of dashes), the usual
formatting characters of asciidoc are instead rendered verbatim.
When the escaped double-hyphen of olden days is moved into such a
block along with other formatting improvements, it becomes
backslash-dash-dash.
So we remove the backslash.

'git stash save' saves local modifications to a new stash, and runs 'git
reset --hard' to revert them to a clean index and work tree. When the
'--keep-index' option is specified, after that 'git reset --hard' the
previous contents of the index is restored and the work tree is updated
to match the index. This option is useful if the user wants to commit
only parts of his local modifications, but wants to test those parts
before committing.
Also add support for the completion of the new option, and add an
example use case to the documentation.

Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit
the current hunk in your favourite editor.
If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will
immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you
will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk
are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged.
Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new
--recount option for git-apply.
Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses
(echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p
even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They
serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly
concludes the patch does not apply.
