     -    doc: flock of small fixes to various documentation files
     +    doc: correct minor wording issues
      
     -    While translating the Git documentation into French, I noticed several small
     -    issues in various files. This commit addresses these issues to improve the
     -    overall quality and consistency of the documentation.
     -
     -     * enforce consistent imperative mood in option descriptions
     -     * lighten wording in several places for clarity
     -     * add missing parameters
     -     * fix minor asciidoc markup issues
     +    * use imperative mood for consistency in options descriptions
     +    * add missing parenthesis
     +    * reword verbose phrase in git-repack.adoc

     - When you run `git checkout <something>`, Git tries to guess whether
     --`<something>` is intended to be a branch, a commit, or a set of file(s),
     -+_<something>_ is intended to be a branch, a commit, or a set of file(s),
     - and then either switches to that branch or commit, or restores the
