Fix minor mark-up mistakes and adjust to v1.5.0 BCP, namely:
- use "git add" instead of "git update-index";
- use "git merge" instead of "git pull .";
- use separate remote layout;
- use config instead of remotes/origin file;
Also updates "My typical git day" example since now I have
'next' branch these days.
