Martin von Zweigbergk 7791a1d9b9 Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

git-merge-tree(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-merge-tree - Show three-way merge without touching index
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git merge-tree' <base-tree> <branch1> <branch2>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads three treeish, and output trivial merge results and
conflicting stages to the standard output. This is similar to
what three-way 'git read-tree -m' does, but instead of storing the
results in the index, the command outputs the entries to the
standard output.
This is meant to be used by higher level scripts to compute
merge results outside of the index, and stuff the results back into the
index. For this reason, the output from the command omits
entries that match the <branch1> tree.
