This completes the patch series on adding short notes about the dot repository capability in git, which is a consequence of the relative path '.' being used as a repository URL.

The previous 2/3 was accepted and is not repeated here. Patch 3/3 is now an ammendment 1/2 Patch 1/3 is corrected and is now 2/2

The first patch is a minor update that give the dot repository note its own bullet, and updates the wording to imply repository discovery from the current directory.

The second patch updates the Git URLs section to include a specific note about relative paths and its use as a dot repository.

It should be noted that repository discovery is not well covered in the documentation but is distributed among a number sections. This could do with a small section somewhere..
