We decided at 48bb914e (doc: drop author/documentation sections from
most pages, 2011-03-11) to remove "author" and "documentation"
sections from our documentation.  Remove a few stragglers.

These deletions were assented to on the Git mailing list by the
persons whose names are thereby removed.  (I mention this fact without
implying that people mentioned in documentation hold a veto over their
names' removal.)

Thanks.

This puts two blank lines where there was previously one in some cases
in the source above the GIT ("part of the git suite") section.  I
don't think that matters.

from typing words that are similar to git subcommands.

Thanks for noticing.

resend.
