    Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git " · b1889c36

    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.
