Jonathan Nieder b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

NAME
----
git-quiltimport - Applies a quilt patchset onto the current branch
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git quiltimport' [--dry-run] [--author <author>] [--patches <dir>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Applies a quilt patchset onto the current git branch, preserving
the patch boundaries, patch order, and patch descriptions present
in the quilt patchset.
For each patch the code attempts to extract the author from the
patch description. If that fails it falls back to the author
specified with --author. If the --author flag was not given
the patch description is displayed and the user is asked to
interactively enter the author of the patch.
If a subject is not found in the patch description the patch name is
preserved as the 1 line subject in the git description.
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
--dry-run::
Walk through the patches in the series and warn
if we cannot find all of the necessary information to commit
a patch. At the time of this writing only missing author
information is warned about.
--author Author Name <Author Email>::
The author name and email address to use when no author
information can be found in the patch description.
--patches <dir>::
The directory to find the quilt patches and the
quilt series file.
+
The default for the patch directory is patches
or the value of the $QUILT_PATCHES environment
variable.
