I noticed while updating my switch-default-merge-strategy-to-ort submission,
that many of the changes were good documentation updates that we might want
for Git v2.33.0. So I pulled those changes out and split them into lots of
little commits so that if any parts need discussion or are objectionable, we
can just drop those from this series and apply the rest for v2.33.0.
The first 9 commits are just small documentation updates, but there is one
commit at the end that updates an error message and a code comment.
Elijah Newren (10):
git-rebase.txt: correct antiquated claims about --rebase-merges
directory-rename-detection.txt: small updates due to merge-ort
optimizations
Documentation: edit awkward references to `git merge-recursive`
merge-strategies.txt: update wording for the resolve strategy
merge-strategies.txt: do not imply using copy detection is desired
merge-strategies.txt: avoid giving special preference to patience
algorithm
merge-strategies.txt: explain why no-renames might be useful
merge-strategies.txt: fix simple capitalization error
Documentation: add coverage of the `ort` merge strategy
Update error message and code comment
