b1889c36d8 Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)

This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.

The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

9e1f0a85c6 documentation: move git(7) to git(1)
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.
-(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

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.

6bd20358a9 write-tree: --prefix=<path>
The "bind" commit can express an aggregation of multiple
projects into a single commit.

In such an organization, there would be one project, root of
whose tree object is at the same level of the root of the
aggregated projects, and other projects have their toplevel in
separate subdirectories.  Let's call that root level project the
"primary project", and call other ones just "subprojects".

You would first read-tree the primary project, and then graft
the subprojects under their appropriate location using read-tree
--prefix=<subdir>/ repeatedly.

To write out a tree object from such an index for a subproject,
write-tree --prefix=<subdir>/ is used.

as index instead of cache, but some references still
remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt)

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.
