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-whatchanged(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-whatchanged - Show logs with difference each commit introduces
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git whatchanged' <option>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows commit logs and diff output each commit introduces. The
command internally invokes 'git rev-list' piped to
'git diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
these commands.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
OPTIONS
-------
-p::
Show textual diffs, instead of the git internal diff
output format that is useful only to tell the changed
paths and their nature of changes.
-<n>::
Limit output to <n> commits.
<since>..<until>::
Limit output to between the two named commits (bottom
exclusive, top inclusive).
-r::
Show git internal diff output, but for the whole tree,
not just the top level.
-m::
By default, differences for merge commits are not shown.
With this flag, show differences to that commit from all
of its parents.
+
However, it is not very useful in general, although it
*is* useful on a file-by-file basis.
include::pretty-options.txt[]
include::pretty-formats.txt[]
Examples
--------
git whatchanged -p v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
Show as patches the commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed
any file in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
git whatchanged --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
'gitk'
