Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txt

This commit also converts all reference specifications to a monospaced font,
as the embedded ~ character used in some of the references sometimes causes
the text up to the next ~ to be displayed incorrectly as a subscript when the
HTML pages are generated. This was tested with asciidoc 8.2.5.
