Missing gitlink: Also I don't like the paragraph. It should probably mention that these programs actually implement the behaviour described, that they aren't hardcoded to the mentioned filenames and that all git porcelain just happens to call them with them.

I realise this is copy&paste but shouldn't that read: "Documentation/\*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but not "Documentation/ppc/ppc.html" ? > +Documentation > +------------- > +Documentation by Josh Triplett. No offence again, but given the amount of copy&paste, maybe the names from git-ls-files should also be added here.
