d336fc096b Documentation: quote commit messages consistently.
Documentation quotes commit messages 14 times with double-quotes, and 7
times with single-quotes. The patch turns everything to double-quotes.

A nice side effect is that documentation becomes more Windoze-friendly
as AFAIK single quotes won't work there.

3b27428b9d core-tutorial: Catch up with current Git
No longer talk about Cogito since it's deprecated.  Some scripts (such as
git-reset or git-branch) have undergone builtinification so adjust the text
to reflect this.

Fix a typo in the description of git-show-branch (merges are indicated by a
`-', not by a `.').

git-pull/git-push do not seem to use the dumb git-ssh-fetch/git-ssh-upload
(the text was probably missing a word).

Adjust a link that wasn't rendered properly because it was wrapped.

c14261eaa2 some doc updates
1) talk about "git merge" instead of "git pull ."

2) suggest "git repo-config" instead of directly editing config files

3) echo "URL: blah" > .git/remotes/foo is obsolete and should be
   "git repo-config remote.foo.url blah"

4) support for partial URL prefix has been removed (see commit
   ea560e6d64) so drop mention of it.

5c94f87e6b use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and tools

command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good

ef0a89a604 Provide more meaningful output from 'git init-db'.
Back in the old days of Git when people messed around with their
GIT_DIR environment variable more often it was nice to know whether
or not git-init-db created a .git directory or used GIT_DIR.
As most users at that time were rather technical UNIXy folk the
message "defaulting to local storage area" made sense to some and
seemed reasonable.

But it doesn't really convey any meaning to the new Git user,
as they don't know what a 'local storage area is' nor do they
know enough about Git to care.  It also really doesn't tell the
experienced Git user a whole lot about the command they just ran,
especially if they might be reinitializing an existing repository
(e.g. to update hooks).

So now we print out what we did ("Initialized empty" or
"Reinitialized existing"), what type of repository ("" or "shared"),
and what location the repository will be in ("$GIT_DIR").

Suggested in part by Andy Parkins in his Git 'niggles' list
(<200612132237.10051.andyparkins@gmail.com>).

ebd124c678 make commit message a little more consistent and conforting
It is nicer to let the user know when a commit succeeded all the time,
not only the first time.  Also the commit sha1 is much more useful than
the tree sha1 in this case.

This patch also introduces a -q switch to supress this message as well
as the summary of created/deleted files.

130fcca63f git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics.
- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
   behaviour.  It commits the current index.

   We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
   subdirectory.

 - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
   is equivalent to:

   	git update-index --remove paths...
        git commit

 - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics.  This is an
   incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
   still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
   have complained that it is confusing to them.  It

   1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
      trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
      -i flag.

   2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
      the index (ditto about reminding).  Added paths are OK.

   3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.

   4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
      temporary index.

   5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
      tree to the real index.

   6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
      current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
      new commit.

 - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
   the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
   commit.

 - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
   commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
   run.  This means that the two "git diff" in the following
   sequence:

       $ git diff
       $ git commit -a
       $ git diff

   would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
   making the commit log message empty.

This commit also introduces much requested --author option.

	$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

b8bc67cef3 cvs-migration documentation update
Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt.  As usual, in my attempt
to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or
I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed.

I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the
monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of
thing.

I moved the material describing shared repository management from
core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate,
and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy.

I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying
to make it more concise.

I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate
alternatives) alone for now.

76b927f19f Recommend to remove unused origin in a shared repository.
It is a common mistake to leave an unsed `origin` branch behind
if a shared public repository was created by first cloning from
somewhere else.  Subsequent `git push` into it with the default
"push all the matching ref" would push the `origin` branch from
the developer repository uselessly.

927a503cd0 New tutorial
The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level
git interfaces.  So it's useful to people developing alternative
porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users.

I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those
beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move
Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and
replace it by a new tutorial.
