If it is interrupted in the middle of writing an XML file, the result will be truncated input for xsltproc.

(All other mentions are part of phrases such as "..filesystems (like NFS).."). Other sections, including the section on core.safecrlf, use the term "work tree" for the same purpose as the term "the filesystem" is used in the core.autocrlf section, so that seems like a good alternative, which makes it clearer what direction the addition/removal of CR characters occurs in.

It is safe to delete a branch "topic" without second thought if: - the branch "topic" is set up to pull from a (remote-tracking, usually) branch and is fully merged in that "upstream" branch, or - there is no branch.topic.merge configuration and branch "topic" is fully merged in the current HEAD. Update the man page to acknowledge the new rules. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in the rebased branch, instead of fast-forwarding over any unchanged commits. --no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges. Instead of "reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the committer time is different). This obviates the need to revert the reversion, as you can re-merge the new topic branch directly. Added an addendum to revert-a-faulty-merge.txt describing the situation and how to use --no-ff to handle it.

Now that Git has been stable for years and does not actually tend to eat your data, it makes significantly less sense. In fact, it sends an entirely wrong message. ‘git gc’ is also unnecessary for the purposes of this document, especially with gc.auto enabled by default. The only other commands in the “Basic Repository” section were ‘git init’ and ‘git clone’. ‘clone’ is already listed in the “Participant” section, so move ‘init’ to the “Standalone” section and get rid of “Basic Repository” entirely.
