a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

81178fe48c Reverse the order of -b and --track in the man page.
Using "-b --track newbranch oldbranch" gives the error:

  git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching
  branches/forcing

However, "--track -b ..." works just fine.

b71083043c Documentation: clarify track/no-track option.
Fix the description of the --no-track option so it no longer says the
opposite of what was intended.  Also mention branch.autosetupmerge
explicitly.

0746d19a82 git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch tracking
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:

  git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
  git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
  git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic

This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.

This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.

If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

d7f078b8b9 Convert update-index references in docs to add.
Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke
when they want to manipulate the index, porcelain documentation
should steer the user to this command rather than the pure plumbing
update-index.

6124aee5d9 add a quiet option to git-checkout
Those new messages are certainly nice, but there might be cases where
they are simply unwelcome, like when git-commit is used within scripts.

2b1f4247ab Reference git-check-ref-format in git-branch.
Its nice to have git-check-ref-format actually get mentioned in
git-branch's documentation as the syntax of a ref name must conform
to what is described in git-check-ref-format.

969d326d6b Enable ref log creation in git checkout -b.
Switch git checkout -b to use git-update-ref rather than echo and
a shell I/O redirection.  This is more in line with typical GIT
commands and allows -b to be logged according to the normal ref
logging rules.

Added -l option to allow users to create the ref log at the same
time as creating a branch.

1be0659efc checkout: merge local modifications while switching branches.
* Instead of going interactive, introduce a command line switch
   '-m' to allow merging changes when normal two-way merge by
   read-tree prevents branch switching.

 * Leave the unmerged stages intact if automerge fails, but
   reset index entries of cleanly merged paths to that of the
   new branch, so that "git diff" (not "git diff HEAD") would
   show the local modifications.

 * Swap the order of trees in read-tree three-way merge used in
   the fallback, so that `git diff` to show the conflicts become
   more natural.

 * Describe the new option and give more examples in the documentation.

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.
