Jonas Fonseca df8baa42fe [PATCH] Random documentation fixes
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on
   included files.

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
   info.

 - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.

 - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.

 - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
   for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
   block.

 - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.

 - Fix linking to other GIT docs.

 - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

git-fetch(1)
============
v0.99.5, Aug 2005
NAME
----
git-fetch - Download objects and a head from another repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-fetch' <repository> <refspec>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with
the objects necessary to complete them.
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. This information is left for a later merge
operation done by "git resolve" or "git octopus".
OPTIONS
-------
include::pull-fetch-param.txt[]
-u, \--update-head-ok::
By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
