e994004f93 Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly.
A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly
as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \--
in the asciidoc source.  Note, no backslash is needed
inside a literal block.

ae5d8470f6 git-commit: document --amend
The "--amend" option is used to amend the tip of the current branch. This
documentation text was copied straight from the commit that implemented it.

Some minor format tweaks for asciidoc were taken from work by Francis Daly
in commit b0d08a5.. It looks good now also in the html page.

[jc: amended further to follow the recommendation by Francis in
commit 3070b60].

4170a19587 git-commit: Now --only semantics is the default.
This changes the "git commit paths..." to default to --only
semantics from traditional --include semantics, as agreed on the
list.

130fcca63f git-commit: revamp the git-commit semantics.
- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
   behaviour.  It commits the current index.

   We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
   subdirectory.

 - "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
   is equivalent to:

   	git update-index --remove paths...
        git commit

 - "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics.  This is an
   incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
   still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
   have complained that it is confusing to them.  It

   1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
      trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
      -i flag.

   2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
      the index (ditto about reminding).  Added paths are OK.

   3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.

   4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
      temporary index.

   5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
      tree to the real index.

   6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
      current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
      new commit.

 - "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
   the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
   commit.

 - In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
   commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
   run.  This means that the two "git diff" in the following
   sequence:

       $ git diff
       $ git commit -a
       $ git diff

   would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
   making the commit log message empty.

This commit also introduces much requested --author option.

	$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

3ae854c356 Examples of resetting.
Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about
recovering from botched commit/pulls.  I agree that pointers
from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place
would be very helpful.

Also reset examples did not mention "pull/merge" cases.

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.
