From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <code@khaugsbakk.name>

Five commands include these options. Let’s link to the command so that the curious user can learn more about what “rerere” is about.

It’s also better to consistently refer to things like e.g. “git-subcommand(1)” over `git subcommand` or `subcommand`.

Also apply the same treatment to git-add(1).

    v2: Same for git-add(1) and expand on the more general point of it all.
