Matthieu: "Notice how..." is the line Jialin suggest to be changed.

Jialin: "how" is correct; "how" starts a subsentence (subclause) which
is used as the object for the verb "notice". ("Notice [that] now..."
would be correct, too.)

BTW: This is not in what many would call "git documentation" (i.e.
git.git/Documentation/). It's in the Git book. But git-scm calls the the
former "reference" and puts both under "Documentation".

This is not about the question "who's the Git community". It's simply
(im)practical: You contribute to the Git book via pull requests on
GitHub and to "git documentation within the git project" by patches on
this list.

In which case? (the page is rather long)

I didn't see a case where "git add" was not needed (or "git commit" used
with "-a", which gives the same effect).

Notice how you don’t have to run git add on the benchmarks.rb file in this case 
before you commit.

I think how should be changed to now--
