Nice fix.

> docs(git-pull.adoc): fix man page typo

Correct, you need an “area” in front of the message. But if you want
something like “docs” it would be more typical/conventional with
something like this:

    doc: pull:

or:

    doc: git-pull:

And then for the rest you don’t need “man page typo” since we know that
this is a doc already. And “man page” is too specific since you can make
HTML as well. Maybe:

    fix typo in command

The `From:` (author) and signoff line should match. See `real-name` in
`Documentation/SubmittingPatches`. Either a pseudonym or real/preferred
name. But it looks like you want to use your real name.

I see on the PR that you have used `snowdroppe <stefanrieche@gmail.com>`
as the author on the commit. You can change your config for the project
to use the same name and email as the signoff line. Then

    git commit --amend --reset-author

And force push to the branch on the remote.

Great.  Which would mean that the in-body From: line early in the
message will also say Stefan Rieche, not snowdroppe.

Thanks for a review.
