We still advertise "git resolve" as a standalone command, but never
"git octopus", so nobody should be using it and it is safe to
retire it. The functionality is still available as a strategy

The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal
workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory
section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands"
section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts,
then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples
for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial.
Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too
technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader.
I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective
of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether,
but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of
sections that talk about refs and the object database in a
hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I
feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract
without being aware of these directories and files.

Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is

git-export was done as a concept example on how easy it is to export
the git data to something else. It's much less powerful than any
number of trivial one-liner scripts now, and real exporters would not
ever use git-export.
It's obviously much less powerful than "git-whatchanged", or just
about any combination of git-rev-list + git-diff-tree.

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.

Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.
This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.
During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.
Earlier, errors to map a pack file was not flagged fatal but led
to a random fatal error later. This version explicitly die()s
when such an error is detected.

This moves the git manpage to man7, since "git" isn't a direct command
per se. It also does two other things:
* Sort of works around the asciidoc 6.0.3 bug where the manpages all
get called "git.1". It just renames them to what they should have
been called.
* Fixes a cut-n-paste bug in git-diff-helper.txt that was making
asciidoc choke.
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.
