Starting with Git 1.5.4, use of dashed forms of git commands in scripts without "PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH" was deprecated. Thus we generally advertise the non-dashed forms of commands. git-sh-setup and git-parse-remote do not have non-dashed forms because they are meant to be sourced from a script using .; thus the only recommended way to use them is by updating PATH first. This patch changes the documentation accordingly. This does not matter as much for releases before 1.6.0, because by default the GIT_EXEC_PATH is in the PATH already.

Am I missing something? Yes, I am. I do not have asciidoc installed, so this patch is completely untested.
