pr-1282/PhilipOakley/Glossary_terms-v1

This short series looks to add the basics of the reachability bitmap and
commit graph phrases to the glossary of terms. While these techniques are
well known to their developers, for some, they are just magic phrases.

The first patch [1/4] is to show OBD as an abbreviation to avoid a UNA [0]

Patch [2/4] provides a basic statement for the Commit-Graph's purpose.

Patch [3/4] provides a similar statement for the reachability bitmaps.

These two patches maybe misses out on some linking information as to the
benefits these have and the basics of their heuristic.

Patch [4/4] follows up on a bug report about the lack of idempotence for the
`--renormalise' command. See commit message for details.

[0] UNA Un-Named Abbreviation.
