Looks great! I noted some minor typos only.
| To fix this, you can use `git lfs migrate import --everything` with an | ||

| `git lfs migrate import --everything --include="\*.jpg,*.png"`. More complicated |

Just out of interest, is there a difference here between \* and plain *?

This is required to make AsciiDoc not consider this bold. Very fortunately, it's also syntactically correct according to the shell.
I realized we should put this in section 7 of the manual.
We generally get a lot of requests for problems that are already answered in the FAQ. Right now, this lives in the wiki, but this is hard to find, so let's include it in the documentation with Git LFS itself. Add the relevant portions to the binary and Makefile so that it can be accessed using `git lfs help faq`, and add it as well to the Linux packages.
Explain what a pointer file is and how to check out files with `git lfs pull`.
It's been requested that we add documentation to explain how to track files that already exist. Do so in a FAQ entry.
Now that the FAQ is stored in the repository, let's point people there instead of at the wiki.

Right now, people have to read the FAQ on the wiki, which makes it hard to discover or to use offline. We want people to have a copy of it installed as part of the documentation for ease of discovery. Add it to the repository, and add a couple of missing entries to help explain some situations we haven't mentioned yet.
Fixes #5034
