Nice fix.

docs(git-pull.adoc): fix man page typo

Correct, you need an “area” in front of the message. But if you want something like “docs” it would be more typical/conventional with something like this:

doc: pull:

or:

doc: git-pull:

And then for the rest you don’t need “man page typo” since we know that this is a doc already. And “man page” is too specific since you can make HTML as well. Maybe:

fix typo in command

From: snowdroppe <[email protected]>

Fix typo in man page from "git --rebase abort"
to "git rebase --abort"

The From: (author) and signoff line should match. See real-name in Documentation/SubmittingPatches. Either a pseudonym or real/preferred name. But it looks like you want to use your real name.

I see on the PR that you have used snowdroppe <[email protected]> as the author on the commit. You can change your config for the project to use the same name and email as the signoff line. Then

    git commit --amend --reset-author

And force push to the branch on the remote.

Great. Which would mean that the in-body From: line early in the message will also say Stefan Rieche, not snowdroppe.

Thanks for a review.
