f562e6f316 glossary: stop generating automatically
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 acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

0a3985dcfb user-manual: run xsltproc without --nonet option
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.

1c95c565c2 user-manual: ensure generated manual references stylesheet
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
related scripts, the easiest way I could find to ensure that the
generated html links to the stylesheet is by calling xsltproc directly.
Maybe there's some better way.

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

latter class is primarily about foreign SCM interface and is
placed before low-level (plumbing) commands.

Also it promotes a handful commands to mainporcelain category

d19fbc3c17 Documentation: add git user's manual
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.

Documentation/, which is usable for people who track either the
'html' or 'man' heads in Junio's repository (prefixed with

GZ may also be set in the environment (or config.mak) if you
wish to gzip the documentation after installing it.

df8baa42fe [PATCH] Random documentation fixes
The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:

 - Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on
   included files.

 - Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
   info.

 - Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.

 - 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
   block.

 - Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.

 - Fix linking to other GIT docs.

 - git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.
