Use asciidoc style 'article' instead of 'book' and change asciidoc
title level. This removes blank first page and superfluous "Part I"
page (there is no "Part II") in pdf output. Also pdf size is
decreased by this from 77 to 67 pages. In html output this removes
unnecessary sub-tocs and chapter numbering.

When we converted many documents that were traditionally text-only
to be formatted to AsciiDoc, we did not update links that point at
them to refer to the formatted HTML files.
* ss/doclinks:
Documentation: make AsciiDoc links always point to HTML files
AsciiDoc's "link" is supposed to create hyperlinks for HTML output, so
prefer a "link" to point to an HTML file instead of a text file if an HTML
version of the file is being generated. For RelNotes, keep pointing to
text files as no equivalent HTML files are generated.
If appropriate, also update the link description to not contain the linked
file's extension.

linux-nfs.org seems to have restructured their repository layout since
8391c60 (git-remote.txt: fix example url, 2007-11-02), and Bruce's
repo is now at git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/bfields/linux.git.
Bruce also has a more richer internal branch structure (master,
everything, for-3.1, ...), so updating the existing example to use his
current repo may be confusing.
To simplify, I've replaced the NFS repo with Greg's staging repo.
I've also updated the output of the surrounding commands to match the
output of a current run through.

* wk/user-manual:
user-manual: Flesh out uncommitted changes and submodule updates
user-manual: Use request-pull to generate "please pull" text
user-manual: Reorganize the reroll sections, adding 'git rebase -i'
I tried to always use backticks for:
* Paths and filenames (e.g. `.git/config`)
* Compound refs (e.g. `origin/HEAD`)
* Git commands (e.g. `git log`)
* Command arguments (e.g. `--pretty`)
* URLs (e.g. `git://`), as a subset of command arguments
* Special characters (e.g. `+` in diffs).
* Config options (e.g. `branch.<name>.remote`)
Branch and tag names are sometimes set off with double quotes,
sometimes set off with backticks, and sometimes left bare. I tried to
judge when the intention was introducing new terms or conventions
(double quotes), to reference a recently used command argument
(backticks), or to reference the abstract branch/commit (left bare).
Obviously these are not particularly crisp definitions, so my
decisions are fairly arbitrary ;). When a reference had already been
introduced, I changed further double-quoted instances to backticked
instances.
When new backticks increased the length of a line beyond others in
that block, I re-wrapped blocks to 72 columns.

If you try and update a submodule with a dirty working directory, you
get an error message like:
$ git submodule update
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
...
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting
...
Mention this in the submodule notes. The previous phrase was short
enough that I originally thought it might have been referring to the
reflog note (obviously, uncommitted changes will not show up in the
reflog either ;).

I think this interface is often more convenient than extended cherry
picking or using 'git format-patch'. In fact, I removed the
cherry-pick section entirely. The entry-level suggestions for
rerolling are now:
1. git commit --amend
2. git format-patch origin
git reset --hard origin
...edit and reorder patches...
git am *.patch
3. git rebase -i origin
