Added definitions for a few words:

    fast forward
    pickaxe
    refspec
    tracking branch

Wild hack allows "link:git-" prefix to reference commands too.

+fast forward::
+       A fast-forward is a special type of merge where you have
+       a revision and you are "merging" another branch's changes
+       that happen to be a descendant of what you have.
+       In such these cases, you do not make a new merge commit but
+       instead just update to his revision. This will happen
+       frequently on a tracking branch of a remote repository.
