Thomas Rast 0b444cdb19 Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughout
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.

The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.

Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the
$PATH.

====================
NAME
----

SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git fmt-merge-msg' [--log | --no-log] <$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD
'git fmt-merge-msg' [--log | --no-log] -F <file>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Takes the list of merged objects on stdin and produces a suitable
commit message to be used for the merge commit, usually to be
passed as the '<merge-message>' argument of 'git merge'.
This command is intended mostly for internal use by scripts

one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
merged.
--no-log::
Do not list one-line descriptions from the actual commits being
merged.
--summary::
--no-summary::
Synonyms to --log and --no-log; these are deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
-F <file>::
--file <file>::
Take the list of merged objects from <file> instead of
stdin.
CONFIGURATION
-------------
merge.log::
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly
merge commit messages. False by default.
merge.summary::
Synonym to `merge.log`; this is deprecated and will be removed in
the future.
