Excuse me, but what is "git bootstrap"?  Trying that leads to:

  git: 'bootstrap' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

further more, it is definitely better to mention the bug tracker than to
not, which is what you keep removing with your changes.

It is also probably a bad idea to refer to git as a first choice,
because most people do not get Emacs from a repository checkout.  Nor
are we guaranteed to be using Git 5, or 10 years in the future.
