7560f547e6 treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"
Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).

This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

3c82eec8fb Documentation/user-manual: update outdated example output
Since commit f7673490 ("more terse push output", 2007-11-05), git push
has a completely different output format than the one shown in the user
manual for a non-fast-forward push.

03920ac69b asciidoctor: fix user-manual to be built by asciidoctor
The `user-manual.txt` is designed as a `book` but the `Makefile` wants
to build it as an `article`. This seems to be a problem when building
the documentation with `asciidoctor`. Furthermore the parts *Git
Glossary* and *Appendix B* had no subsections which is not allowed when
building with `asciidoctor`. So lets add a *dummy* section.

1de2e442af user-manual: remove temporary branch entry from todo list
In the section on "How to check out a different version of a
project" the "new" branch is used as a temporary branch.  A detached
HEAD was not used since it was a new feature introduced just a
couple weeks prior.

The section could be changed to use and explain a detached HEAD,
except that would increase the learning curve early in the manual.
Detached HEADs are discussed a couple sections later under
"Examining an old version without creating a new branch".

Let's declare that it is a bad idea to rewrite the example that
uses a temporary branch to do the sightseeing on a detached HEAD.

d5ff3b4be5 Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML files
AsciiDoc's "link" is supposed to create hyperlinks for HTML output, so
prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML
version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to
text files as no equivalent HTML files are generated.

If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked
file's extension.

34a25d4c90 Documentation: Update the NFS remote examples to use the staging repo
linux-nfs.org seems to have restructured their repository layout since
8391c60 (git-remote.txt: fix example url, 2007-11-02), and Bruce's
repo is now at git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/bfields/linux.git.
Bruce also has a more richer internal branch structure (master,
everything, for-3.1, ...), so updating the existing example to use his
current repo may be confusing.

To simplify, I've replaced the NFS repo with Greg's staging repo.
I've also updated the output of the surrounding commands to match the
output of a current run through.
