It now requires two -f options for safety. * "git fetch/push" over http transports had two rather grave bugs. * "git format-patch --cover-letter" did not prepare the cover letter file for use with non-ASCII strings when there are the series contributors with non-ASCII names. * "git pull origin branch" and "git fetch origin && git merge origin/branch" left different merge messages in the resulting commit. Other minor documentation updates are included.
