Unless one already knew, it was not obvious what sort of shorthand
"git check-ref-format --branch" expands. Explain it.
The --branch argument is not optional.

"Unreliable hardlinks" is a misleading description for what is happening.
So rename it to something less misleading.

The SubmittingPatches file was trimmed down from a somewhat
overwhelming set of requirements from the Linux Kernel equivalent;
however perhaps a little of it can be returned without making the
text too long.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.
It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.
As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.
At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

The way the sentence is currently written, there needs to be an "its",

as it's its own" which is awkward to read.

Without this fix, the output looks like:

There's already 'd' to stop staging hunks in a file, but no explicit
command to stop the interactive staging (for the current files and the
remaining ones). Of course you can do 'd' and then ^C, but it would be
more intuitive to allow 'quit' action.
