Most of the exact option strings to be typed by end users are
already set in typewriter font by using `--option`, but a few places
used '--option' to call for italics or with no quoting. Uniformly
use `--option`.
Also add a full-stop after a sentence that missed one.

Multiple patterns may be given; if any of them matches, the tag is shown.

overridden by using the `--track` and `--no-track` options, and
changed later using `git branch --set-upstream`.

If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
<newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch

has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.

only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist
in the remote repository or if 'git fetch' was configured not to fetch
them again. See also the 'prune' subcommand of linkgit:git-remote[1] for a
