Fix remaining instances where "pack-file" is used instead of
"packfile". Some places remain where we still use "pack-file",
This is the case when we explicitly refer to a file with a
".pack" extension as opposed to a data source providing a pack
data stream.

There are several "raw formats", and describing --raw as "Generate the
raw format" in the documentation for git-log seems to imply that it
generates the raw *log* format.
Clarify the wording by saying "raw diff format" explicitly, and make a
special-case for "git log": "git log --raw" does not just change the
format, it shows something which is not shown by default.

Since b814da8 (pull: add pull.ff configuration, 2014-01-15), running
git-pull with the configuration pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is
equivalent to passing --no-ff and --ff-only to git-merge. However, if
pull.ff=true, no switch is passed to git-merge. This leads to the
confusing behavior where pull.ff=false or pull.ff=only is able to
override merge.ff, while pull.ff=true is unable to.
Fix this by adding the --ff switch if pull.ff=true, and add a test to
catch future regressions.
Furthermore, clarify in the documentation that pull.ff overrides
merge.ff.

The former seems to just be syntactic sugar for the latter.
And as it's sugar that AsciiDoctor doesn't understand, it
would be nice to avoid it. Since there are only two spots,
and the resulting source is not significantly harder to
read, it's worth doing.
Note that this does slightly affect the generated HTML (it
has an extra newline), but the rendered result for both HTML
and docbook should be the same (since the newline is not
syntactically significant there).

Text like "{foo}" triggers an AsciiDoc attribute; we have to
write "\{foo}" to suppress this. But when the "foo" is not a
syntactically valid attribute, we can skip the quoting. This
makes the source nicer to read, and looks better under
Asciidoctor. With AsciiDoc itself, this patch produces no
changes.

Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

All of the other options in the list put short and long as

We can also drop the backslashing of `--`. It isn't used

Curly braces open an "attribute" in AsciiDoc; if there's no
such attribute, strange things may happen. In this case, the
unquoted "{type}" causes AsciiDoc to omit an entire line of
text from the output. We can fix it by putting the whole
phrase inside literal backticks (which also lets us get rid
of ugly backslash escaping).

AsciiDoc misparses some text that contains a `literal`
word followed by a fancy `single quote' word, and treats
everything from the start of the literal to the end of the
quote as a single-quoted phrase.
We can work around this by switching the latter to be a
literal, as well. In the first case, this is perhaps what
was intended anyway, as it makes us consistent with the the
earlier literals in the same paragraph. In the second, the
output is arguably better, as we will format our commit
references as <code> blocks.

The asciidoctor renderer is more picky than classic asciidoc,
and insists that the start and end of a code fence be the
same size.
Found with this hacky perl script:
foreach my $fn (@ARGV) {
open(my $fh, '<', $fn);
my ($fence, $fence_lineno, $prev);

print "$fn:$fence_lineno:mismatched fence: ",
length($fence), " != ", length($_), "\n";

$fence_lineno = undef;

# hacky check to avoid title-underlining

Merges with an absurd number of parents are still a bad idea because
they do not render well in tools like gitk, but if they are present
in the repository being imported into git then there's no need to
avoid reproducing them faithfully.
In olden times, before v1.6.0-rc0~194 (2008-06-27), git commit-tree
and higher-level tools built on top of it were limited to writing 16
parents for a commit. Nowadays normal git operations are happy to
write more parents when asked, so the motivation for this note in the
fast-import documentation is gone and we can remove it.

Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit
introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit
merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens
if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual
commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only
any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the
merge commit are ignored.
Get this straight in the docs.
Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is
true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.
