Well, until you spell out what your rules are to decide how things should
be marked up (e.g "command name in prose should be spelled inside sq pair,
like 'git frotz'"), I assert that I cannot even judge if the result of the
patch is consistent with them.  I can only say "wooo, most of the branch
names look green" or something like that, but that kind of comment on the
consistency is as useful to you as "ahh, everything is spelled in American
spellings", iow, not much, isn't it?

Getting everybody agree to the rules is a different matter, but that
happens only after everybody knows what the rules are.
