Doc: Bundle file usage

Browse Source 
Improve the command description, including paragraph spacing.

Git URLs can accept bundle files for fetch, pull and clone, include
in that section. Include git clone in the bundle usage description.
Correct the quoting of <git-rev-list-args>.

Detail the <git-rev-list-args> options for cloning a complete repo.

Some workflows require that one or more branches of development on one
machine be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot
be directly connected, and therefore the interactive Git protocols (git,
ssh, http) cannot be used. This command provides support for
'git fetch' and 'git pull' to operate by packaging objects and references
in an archive at the originating machine, then importing those into
another repository using 'git fetch' and 'git pull'
after moving the archive by some means (e.g., by sneakernet). As no

The 'git bundle' command packages objects and references in an archive
at the originating machine, which can then be imported into another
repository using 'git fetch', 'git pull', or 'git clone',
after moving the archive by some means (e.g., by sneakernet).
As no
direct connection between the repositories exists, the user must specify a
basis for the bundle that is held by the destination repository: the
bundle assumes that all objects in the basis are already in the

`git clone` can use any bundle created without negative refspecs
(e.g., `new`, but not `old..new`).
If you want to match `git clone --mirror`, which would include your
refs such as `refs/remotes/*`, use `--all`.
If you want to provide the same set of refs that a clone directly
from the source repository would get, use `--branches --tags` for
the `<git-rev-list-args>`.

'git clone', 'git fetch' and 'git pull', but not 'git push', will also
accept a suitable bundle file. See linkgit:git-bundle[1].
When Git doesn't know how to handle a certain transport protocol, it
attempts to use the 'remote-<transport>' remote helper, if one
exists. To explicitly request a remote helper, the following syntax
