Fix the git-svn documentation svn-remote example section talking about
tags and branches by using the proper key "fetch" instead of "trunk".
Using "trunk" actually might be nice, but it doesn't currently work.
The fetch line for the trunk was also reordered to be at the top of the
list, since most people think about the trunk/tags/branches trio in that
logical order.

With this change, the "spurious .sp" suppression XSLT code is
disabled by default. It can be enabled by defining
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP.
The "spurious .sp" XSLT fragment was used to work around a bug
first released in docbook-xsl 1.69.1. Modern versions of
docbook-xsl are negatively affected by the code (some empty lines
are omitted from manpage output; see
<http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/115302>).
The key revisions in the docbook SVN repo seem to be 5144 (before
docbook-xsl 1.69.1) and 6359 (before docbook-xsl 1.71.1).
Testing done with asciidoc 8.3.1 and docbook-xsl 1.74.0.

format-patch supports the format.headers configuration for adding
arbitrary email headers to the patches it outputs. This patch adds
support for an --add-header argument which makes the same feature
available from the command line. This is useful when the content of
custom email headers must change from branch to branch.

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.
