Subject: [PATCH] git.txt: fix typos in 'linkgit' macro invocation
Message-ID: <pull.934.git.git.1608651140403.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

```
From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com>

The 'linkgit' Asciidoc macro is misspelled as 'linkit' in the
description of 'GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR' since the addition of that variable
to git(1) in 902a126eca (doc: mention GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR and
'sequence.editor' more, 2020-08-31).

Fix that.

description of 'GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR' since the addition of that variable
to git(1) in 902a126eca (doc: mention GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR and

one.

Fix that.

It seems that 2.29 shipped with these typos without anybody
noticing.

How did you find them, by the way?  Anything we can do to prevent
similar mistakes with automation?

Will queue.  Thanks.
