There have been several complaints against k.org's user-manual
page. The document is generated in ISO-8859-1 by the xsltproc
toolchain (I suspect this is because released docbook.xsl we use
has xsl:output element that says the output is ISO-8859-1) but
server delivers it with "charset=UTF-8", and all h*ll breaks
loose.
This attempts to force UTF-8 on the generating end.

It turns out that the attribute definition we have had for a
long time to hide "^" character from AsciiDoc 7 was not honored
by AsciiDoc 8 even under "-a asciidoc7compatible" mode. There is
a similar breakage with the "compatible" mode with + characters.
The double colon at the end of definition list term needs
to be attached to the term, without a whitespace. After this
minimum fixups, AsciiDoc 8 (I used 8.2.1 on Debian) with
compatibility mode seems to produce reasonably good results.

Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so
with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing
command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for
information on the gitignore format.
Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor
out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to
.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove
now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving
only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what
precedence they have.

The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.
But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.
Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted

The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find
anything. But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a
user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will
work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all
--nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that. That
doesn't seem particularly helpful.

The generated user manual is rather hard to read thanks to the lack of
the css that's supposed to be included from docbook-xsl.css.
I'm totally ignorant of the toolchain; grubbing through xmlto and

I am not very happy with trailing whitespaces in the new

This adds two new classes (pure-helpers and "Interacting with

placed before low-level (plumbing) commands.

The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

- Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.
- Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
