Jonathan Nieder ba020ef5eb manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.

Using

	doit () {
	  perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
	}
	for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
	        merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
	do
	  doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
	done
	git diff

.

--stat::
Show a diffstat at the end of the merge. The diffstat is also
controlled by the configuration option merge.stat.
-n::
--no-stat::
Do not show diffstat at the end of the merge.
--summary::
--no-summary::
Synonyms to --stat and --no-stat; these are deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
--log::
In addition to branch names, populate the log message with
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.
--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.
--commit::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --no-commit.
--squash::
Produce the working tree and index state as if a real
merge happened, 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).
--no-squash::
Perform the merge and commit the result. This option can
be used to override --squash.
--no-ff::
Generate a merge commit even if the merge resolved as a
fast-forward.
--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.
-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).
