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
----
git-notes - Add/inspect commit notes
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git notes' (edit [-F <file> | -m <msg>] | show) [commit]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command allows you to add notes to commit messages, without
changing the commit. To discern these notes from the message stored
in the commit object, the notes are indented like the message, after
an unindented line saying "Notes:".
To disable commit notes, you have to set the config variable
core.notesRef to the empty string. Alternatively, you can set it
to a different ref, something like "refs/notes/bugzilla". This setting
can be overridden by the environment variable "GIT_NOTES_REF".
SUBCOMMANDS
-----------
edit::
Edit the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
show::
Show the notes for a given commit (defaults to HEAD).
OPTIONS
-------
-m <msg>::
Use the given note message (instead of prompting).
If multiple `-m` (or `-F`) options are given, their
values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
-F <file>::
Take the note message from the given file. Use '-' to
read the note message from the standard input.
If multiple `-F` (or `-m`) options are given, their
values are concatenated as separate paragraphs.
