needed for the versions of AsciiDoc that we support, but is rendered
literally by Asciidoctor.

--root <commit>`. If you want to format only <commit> itself, you
can do this with `git format-patch -1 <commit>`.
These options are passed to linkgit:git-send-pack[1]. A thin transfer
significantly reduces the amount of sent data when the sender and
receiver share many of the same objects in common. The default is
