Tay Ray Chuan 409b8d82df Documentation/git-pull: put verbosity options before merge/fetch ones
After 3f7a9b5 (Documentation/git-pull.txt: Add subtitles above included
option files, Thu Oct 22 2009), the -q/-v options were mentioned only
for the merge options section, giving the impression that git-fetch did
not take those arguments.

Follow 90e4311 (git-pull: do not mention --quiet and --verbose twice,
Mon Sep 7 2009) and hide -q/-v for merge options, while mentioning -q/-v
before the merge- and fetch-specific options.

--commit::
--no-commit::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --no-commit.
+
With --no-commit perform the merge but pretend the merge
failed and do not autocommit, to give the user a chance to
inspect and further tweak the merge result before committing.
--ff::
--no-ff::
Do not generate a merge commit if the merge resolved as
a fast-forward, only update the branch pointer. This is
the default behavior of git-merge.
+
With --no-ff Generate a merge commit even if the merge
resolved as a fast-forward.
--log::
--no-log::
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
one-line descriptions from the actual commits that are being
merged.
+
With --no-log do not list one-line descriptions from the
actual commits being merged.
--stat::
-n::
--no-stat::
Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
+
With -n or --no-stat do not show a diffstat at the end of the
merge.
--squash::
--no-squash::
Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
merge happened (except for the merge information),
but do not actually make a commit or
move the `HEAD`, nor record `$GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD` to
cause the next `git commit` command to create a merge
commit. This allows you to create a single commit on
top of the current branch whose effect is the same as
merging another branch (or more in case of an octopus).
+
With --no-squash perform the merge and commit the result. This
option can be used to override --squash.
--ff-only::
Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the
current `HEAD` is already up-to-date or the merge can be
resolved as a fast-forward.
-s <strategy>::
--strategy=<strategy>::
Use the given merge strategy; can be supplied more than
once to specify them in the order they should be tried.
If there is no `-s` option, a built-in list of strategies
is used instead ('git merge-recursive' when merging a single
head, 'git merge-octopus' otherwise).
--summary::
--no-summary::
Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
ifndef::git-pull[]
-q::
--quiet::
Operate quietly.
-v::
--verbose::
Be verbose.
endif::git-pull[]
-X <option>::
--strategy-option=<option>::
Pass merge strategy specific option through to the merge
strategy.
