From: Mark Rushakoff <mark.rushakoff@xxxxxxxxx> "Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas "cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible. Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances. Only files in the Documentation folder were modified. 'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately from the documentation change. Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.
