Since the options that affect the way metadata is handled in
git-svn, should be consistently set/unset throughout history
imported by git-svn; it makes sense to allow the user to set
certain options from the command-line that will write to the
config file when initially creating the repository.
Also, fix some formatting issues while we're updating
documentation.

This documents the 'clone' and 'rebase' commands
of git-svn. Additionaly, examples are updated

'fetch' commands.

Make sure we flush our userspace buffers and and fsync(2)
.rev_db information to disk if we use these options because
we really don't want to lose this information.
Also, disallow --use-svm-props and --no-metadata from the
command-line because history will be inconsistent if they're
only used occasionally. If a user wants to use these options,
they must be set in the config so they're always on.

--no-follow-parent disables and reverts it back to the old

Since refs/remotes/* are not automatically cloned, we expect the
user to be capable of copying those references themselves
anyways.
Also removed the documentation for --ignore-nodate while we're
at it; it has also been made automatic.

It's not really useful anymore now that we have a better

git-diff: fix combined diff
Fix 'git commit -a' in a newly initialized repository
Include git-gui credits file in dist.
Document the new core.bare configuration option.
In response to a feature request from Shawn Pearce, this patch allows
a user to update a named group of remotes by using "git remote update
<group>", where the group is defined in the config file by
remotes.<group>. The default if the named group is not specified is
now fetched group remotes.default, instead of remote.fetch, which is
what had been previously used.
In addition, if remotes.default is not defined, all remotes defined in
the config file will be used, as before, but there is now also
possible to request that a particular repository to be skipped by
default by using the boolean configuration parameter
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate.

Documentation advertises the new `--depth <n>' parameter with an equal
sign, while the usage notes (shown after `git-clone --help') do not. If I
understood git-clone's source code correctly, the version without the
equal sign is correct, which is why this patch syncs documentation to the
usage note.

Instead of (or, in addition to) --tags, to use only tags for naming,
you can now use --refs=<pattern> to specify a shell glob pattern
which the refs must match to be used for naming.

Since `git add` is the approved porcelain for an end-user to invoke

It was mentioned on #git this morning that the lead-in description
of git-rebase is very confusing. Too many branch this and branch
that in a very short run of text.
This new description attempts to walk the user through the command
syntax, while also describing exactly what git-rebase is doing to
their repository.

git-daemon: Avoid leaking the listening sockets into child processes.
Clarify two backward incompatible repository options.
It was unclear if the backward compatible features were disabled
or the configuration variables that controls them were set to
false by default from the description. Obviously we meant the
former, but the problem was made worse by the fact that one
configuration variable breaks compatibility when set to true and
the other one breaks it when set to false.
