9bc0f32c77 Rename git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundant
This patch renames git-pack-intersect to git-pack-redundant
as suggested by Petr Baudis. The new name reflects what the
program does, rather than how it does it.

Also fix a small argument parsing bug.

41f222e87a Be marginally more careful about removing objects
The git philosophy when it comes to disk accesses is "Laugh in the face of
danger".

Notably, since we never modify an existing object, we don't really care
that deeply about flushing things to disk, since even if the machine
crashes in the middle of a git operation, you can never really have lost
any old work. At most, you'd need to figure out the proper heads (which
git-fsck-objects can do for you) and re-do the operation.

However, there's two exceptions to this: pruning and repacking. Those
operations will actually _delete_ old objects that they know about in
other ways (ie that they just repacked, or that they have found in other
places).

However, since they actually modify old state, we should thus be a bit
more careful about them. If the machine crashes and the duplicate new
objects haven't been flushed to disk, you can actually be in trouble.

This is trivially stupid about it by calling "sync" before removing the
objects. Not very smart, but we're talking about special operations than
are usually done once a week if that.

f7aac2eac9 Add "-l" flag for repacking only local packs
This uses the new "--local" flag to git-pack-objects.  It currently only
makes a difference together with "-a", since a normal incremental repack
won't pack any packed objects at all (whether local or remote).

Eventually, it might end up skipping any objects that aren't local to
the current object directory, but for now it only knows to skip packed
objects.

490e23d22a Archive-destroying "git repack -a -d" bug.
Using "git repack -a -d" can destroy your git archive if you use it
twice in succession, because the new pack can be called the same as
the old pack.  Found by Linus.

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.
