Outside relnotes, there seem to be a handful instances of those
that expresses em-dash with "---".

$ git grep -E '[A-Za-z]{2,}---[A-Za-z]{2,}' Documentation/
git-bisect.txt:command not found, 126 is for command found but not executable---these
git-clone.txt:	repository---the new repository will borrow objects from the
git-fetch.txt:  the refspecs---they specify which refs to fetch and which local refs
git-push.txt:be omitted---such a push will update a ref that `<src>` normally updates
technical/index-format.txt:  first subtree---let's call this A---of the root level...

I'll leave it for a separate topic to clean these up later.
