This patch is huge (256 KB), so I am not sending it. You can find it at <http://home.uchicago.edu/~jrnieder/20080703-git-italics.txt>. The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff . Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxxxxx> My script missed some spots, but I don't think there were any false positives. (I hope there weren't.)
