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-mailsplit(1)
================
NAME
----
git-mailsplit - Simple UNIX mbox splitter program
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git mailsplit' [-b] [-f<nn>] [-d<prec>] [--keep-cr] -o<directory> [--] [(<mbox>|<Maildir>)...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Splits a mbox file or a Maildir into a list of files: "0001" "0002" .. in the
specified directory so you can process them further from there.
IMPORTANT: Maildir splitting relies upon filenames being sorted to output
patches in the correct order.
OPTIONS
-------
<mbox>::
Mbox file to split. If not given, the mbox is read from
the standard input.
<Maildir>::
Root of the Maildir to split. This directory should contain the cur, tmp
and new subdirectories.
-o<directory>::
Directory in which to place the individual messages.
-b::
If any file doesn't begin with a From line, assume it is a
single mail message instead of signaling error.
-d<prec>::
Instead of the default 4 digits with leading zeros,
different precision can be specified for the generated
filenames.
-f<nn>::
Skip the first <nn> numbers, for example if -f3 is specified,
start the numbering with 0004.
--keep-cr::
Do not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`.
