There are several undocumented dependencies in the .spec and in the
INSTALL files. The following is from Fedora, perhaps other RPM
distributions call the packages differently.
Also, the manpages aren't always installed gzipped.
Updates to git-core.spec.in file:
- Some git scripts use Perl
- gitk needs wish, which is part of TCL/Tk.
- curl is used all over
- Need the ssh program from openssh-clients
Updates to INSTALL:
- Mention wish
- Mention ssh

I really wanted to try this out, instead of asking for an adjustment
to the 'git merge' driver and waiting. For now the new strategy is
called 'fredrik' and not in the list of default strategies to be tried.
The script wants Python 2.4 so this commit also adjusts Debian and RPM
build procecure files.

Tools directory being separate is just a historical
coincidence. Build and install together with the main
directory, just like the clean target does.

Sergey Vlasov says we do not pre-require (i.e. required packages
during installation) the dependencies, and should use Requires
instead of Prereq. Knowing nothing about RPM, I just believe
him.

Many many thanks go to Chris Wright and H. Peter Anvin whose
help were essential to get me going this build.

This is my first attempt to adjust Debian and RPM to pass
prefix, to prepare the 0.99.4 release.
It updates debian/rules and git-core.spec.in to properly pass
prefix when building binary packages. It also updates
debian/changelog to make the resulting binary package name
0.99.4; this is not needed on the RPM side (it takes the version
number from the main Makefile).

If you don't want the documentation simply build with
make RPMBUILD="rpmbuild --without docs"

That way we avoid any confusion with "GNU Interactive Tools", and it's
more descriptive anyway (the rpm documentation talks about how git is
split into a "core" part and an "SCM" part, this makes it clear that
this is the core one).
