some doc updates
1) talk about "git merge" instead of "git pull ."
2) suggest "git repo-config" instead of directly editing config files
3) echo "URL: blah" > .git/remotes/foo is obsolete and should be
"git repo-config remote.foo.url blah"
4) support for partial URL prefix has been removed (see commit
ea560e6d64374ec1f6c163c276319a3da21a1345) so drop mention of it.
