Sweet, thanks for sending this in. I like the little touches you added such as 3/5, and fixing up docs of other refs.
I found a couple typos and some slightly misleading text in 4/5.
I'm also curious if it'd be worth attempting to point out the link between AUTO_MERGE and the --remerge-diff flag to `git log` and `git show`, though even if it is, it could always be added after this series.
