3742506578 Some doc typo fixes
All should be clear enough, except perhaps committish / commitish.
I just kept the more-used one within the current docs.

[jc: with rephrasing of check-ref-format description later discussed
 on the list]

f4c6f2d328 read-tree: --prefix=<path>/ option.
With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current
index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under
directory at `<prefix>`.  The original index file cannot have
anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in
`<prefix>/` directory.  This can be used to graft an
independent tree into a subdirectory of the current index.

cd0a781c38 Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.
Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading
what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head
information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink.  That
is not necessarily so.

5f3aa197ac Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docs

as index instead of cache, but some references still
remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt)

df8baa42fe [PATCH] Random documentation fixes
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on
   included files.

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
   info.

 - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.

 - Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.

 - Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
   for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
   block.

 - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.

 - Fix linking to other GIT docs.

 - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

f318dd229f Document -i flag to git-read-tree
Somehow I missed it when we updated read-tree to support the recursive
merge strategy.  Also -i should require -m as well, which the command
did not check.

215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.

c859600954 [PATCH] read-tree: save more user hassles during fast-forward.
This implements the "never lose the current cache information or
the work tree state, but favor a successful merge over merge
failure" principle in the fast-forward two-tree merge operation.

It comes with a set of tests to cover all the cases described in
the case matrix found in the new documentation.
