URL being an acronym, it deserves to be kept uppercase.

142d035a02 Documentation: match underline with the text
Even though AsciiDoc is more lenient when deciding if an underline
is for the contents on the previous line to find section headers, we
should match the length of them for other formatters to help them.

0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

203462347f Allow push and fetch urls to be different
This introduces a config setting remote.$remotename.pushurl which is
used for pushes only. If absent remote.$remotename.url is used for
pushes and fetches as before.
This is useful, for example, in order to do passwordless fetches
(remote update) over the git transport but pushes over ssh.

18afe101eb git push: Interpret $GIT_DIR/branches in a Cogito compatible way
Current git versions ignore everything after # (called <head> in the
following) when pushing. Older versions (before cf818348f1),
interpret #<head> as part of the URL, which make git bail out.

As branches origin from Cogito, it is the best to correct this by using
the behaviour of cg-push, that is to push HEAD to remote refs/heads/<head>.

ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Using

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
	}
	for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
	        merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
	do
	  doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
	done
	git diff

.

5812473335 Clarify description of <repository> argument to pull/fetch for naming remotes.
Alter the description of <repository> in OPTIONS section to
explicitly state that a 'remote name' is accepted.
Rewrite REMOTES section to more directly identify the
different kinds of remote-name permitted.

37ba05619c Add urls.txt to git-clone man page
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking
URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.

Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt.  The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make
as much sense.
