Unfortunately, this change breaks Asciidoc formatting by making the following ".Add an entry..." item get glued to the new "git-foo..." example. Fix by inserting a blank line after the "git-foo...". (And try formatting it yourself to ensure that it is working as expected.)

Finally, all of your patches are whitespace-damaged and fail to apply to the code-base. Did you paste them into your email client or some such? If possible, try to send patches via git-send-email since it does a good job of protecting against whitespace and other types of damage.
