Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more
features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and
it may work on non unix like platforms.
Also add a few links to git-help(1) in "See also" sections.

In some places the links are wrong. They should be:
"link:everyday.html", instead of: "linkgit:everyday[7]".
This patch fixes that.

The post-update hook, which is required to be enabled in order for
the repository to be accessible over HTTP, is not enabled by
chmod a+x anymore, but instead by dropping the .sample suffix.
This patch emphasizes this change in the release notes (since
I believe this is rather noticeable backwards-incompatible change).
It also adjusts the documentation which still described the old way
and fixes t/t5540-http-push.sh, which was broken for 1.5 month
but apparently noone ever runs this test.

I think that some of these uses of italics were meant to be
rendered in quotation marks, anyway.

Italicize those git subcommand names already in teletype we missed.

Some manual pages use teletype font to set command names. We
change them to use italics, instead. This creates a visual
distinction between names of commands and command lines that
can be typed at the command line. It is also more consistent
with other man pages outside Git.
In this patch, the commands named are non-git commands like bash.

The name `gitk` is sometimes meant to be entered at the command
prompt, but most uses are just referring to the program with that
name (not the incantation to start it).

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

With the conversion of HTML documentation to man pages
tutorial.html -> gittutorial (7)

cvs-migration.html -> gitcvs-migration (7)
diffcore.html -> gitdiffcore (7)
repository-layout.html -> gitrepository-layout (5)
hooks.html -> githooks (5)
glossary.html -> gitglossary (7)

a little debris was left behind. We clear it away.

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:
diffcore.txt -> gitdiffcore.txt (man section 7)
repository-layout.txt -> gitrepository-layout.txt (man section 5)
Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly.

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:
core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt
glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt
But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.
Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly
and sometimes improved a little too.
