Hi,

Thanks for writing.  A few questions:

 1. Can you say a little more about the rationale for this change?
    E.g. is the current formatting sending a confusing message?  Is the
    current formatting intending to use '' as quotes and using italics
    instead?  If so, should this use "" to fix it?

 2. May we forge your sign-off? See the section "Certify your work"
    in Documentation/SubmittingPatches for more about what this means.

Thanks,
Jonathan

hello.
1.I understood, that verbose commands are quoted in ` ' or ' '. While
the points I changed are not verbose commands. Therefore I didn't see
any sense in them. Because of the different quoting ways (e.g. `merge`),
I thought that someone didn't understand the quoting concept. But it
could also be me...

2.yes please. I will read this section.
