Arguably that's the point isn't it? To not have people who aren't
maintaining Git itself waste time on reading it.
Anyway I don't care how it's worded, but if you're going to patch it
you should probably do these too for consistency, since they
copy/paste this same blurb:
$ git --no-pager grep -l 'This is not a command the end user would
want to run. Ever.'
Documentation/git-mergetool--lib.txt
Documentation/git-sh-i18n--envsubst.txt
Documentation/git-sh-i18n.txt
Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt
And actually we might want to do all those with some asciidoc include
mechanism.
