cd0a781c38 Documentation: do not blindly run 'cat' .git/HEAD, or echo into it.
Many places in the documentation we still talked about reading
what commit is recorded in .git/HEAD or writing the new head
information into it, both assuming .git/HEAD is a symlink.  That
is not necessarily so.

5f3aa197ac Change 'cache' to 'index' in the docs
This patch makes the documentation refer to the index
as index instead of cache, but some references still
remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt)

5cfcd07c93 Retire diff-helper.
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has
proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness.

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.

ddafa7e933 [PATCH] diff-helper: Fix R/C score parsing under -z flag.
The score number that follow R/C status were parsed but the
parse pointer was not updated, causing the entire line to become
unrecognized.  This patch fixes this problem.

There was a test missing to catch this breakage, which this
commit adds as t4009-diff-rename-4.sh.  The diff-raw tests used
in related t4005-diff-rename-2.sh (the same test without -z) and
t4007-rename-3.sh were stricter than necessarily, despite that
the comment for the tests said otherwise.  This patch also
corrects them.

The documentation is updated to say that the status can
optionally be followed by a number called "score"; it does not
have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to
limit it only to C and R.

b6d8f309d9 [PATCH] diff-raw format update take #2.
This changes the diff-raw format again, following the mailing
list discussion.  The new format explicitly expresses which one
is a rename and which one is a copy.

The documentation and tests are updated to match this change.

81e50eabf0 [PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.
Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence.  All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.

The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary.  The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.

Updated are both documentations and tests.

99665af5c0 [PATCH 2/3] Rename git-diff-tree-helper to git-diff-helper.
It used to be that diff-tree needed helper support to parse its
raw output to generate diffs, but these days git-diff-* family
produces the same output and the helper is not tied to diff-tree
anymore.  Drop "tree" from its name.

This commit is done separately to record just the rename and no
file content changes. The changes in the renamed files are recorded
in the next commit.
