Howto documents in howto-index.txt were listed in a rather
random order. So better sort them.

a26fd033af Documentation: move support for old compilers to CodingGuidelines
The "Try to be nice to older C compilers" text is clearly a guideline
to be borne in mind whilst coding rather than when submitting patches.

6a5b649883 SubmittingPatches: add convention of prefixing commit messages
Conscientious newcomers to git development will read SubmittingPatches
and CodingGuidelines, but could easily miss the convention of
prefixing commit messages with a single word identifying the file
or area the commit touches.

f0cb2f137c fetch --tags: clarify documentation
Explain that --tags is just like another explicit refspec on the
command line and as such overrides the default refspecs configured
via the remote.$name.fetch variable.

75940a001a git.txt: add missing info about --git-dir command-line option
Unlike other environment variables (e.g. GIT_WORK_TREE,	GIT_NAMESPACE),
the Documentation/git.txt file did not mention that the GIT_DIR
environment variable can also be set using the --git-dir command line
option.

4a6385fe55 index-format.txt: clarify what is "invalid"
A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name
of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.

Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

7c65b2ebb7 git-fast-import.txt: improve documentation for quoted paths
The documentation mentioned only newlines and double quotes as
characters needing escaping, but the backslash also needs it. Also, the
documentation was not clearly saying that double quotes around the file
name were required (double quotes in the examples could be interpreted as
part of the sentence, not part of the actual string).

which doesn't parse for me; I've changed it to
