Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is
clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should
be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy.

git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export
the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any
number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not
ever use git-export.
It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just
about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree.

HPA reminded me that these programs knows about the name of the
counterpart on the other end and simply symlinking the old name to
new name locally would not be enough.

Otherwise we would regret when Fredrik comes up with another merge
algorithm with different pros-and-cons with the current one.

I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment
to the 'git merge' driver and waiting. For now the new strategy is
called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried.
The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM
build procecure files.

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.
