41a5564e05 Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool.  Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.

03eeaeaea5 Introduce 'git-format-patch --suffix=.patch'
The default can also be changed with "format.suffix" configuration.
Leaving it empty would not add any suffix.

efd0201684 git-format-patch: add --output-directory long option again
Additionally notices and complains to an -o option without
directory or a duplicated -o option, -o and --stdout given
together.  Also delays the creation of directory until all
arguments are parsed, so that the command does not leave an
empty directory behind when it exits after seeing an unrelated
invalid option.

 documentation updates from Dennis.]

66f04f38f4 format-patch: Remove last vestiges of --mbox option
Don't mention it in docs or --help output.
Remove mbox, date and author variables from git-format-patch.sh.

Use DESCRIPTION text from man-page to update LONG_USAGE output. It's
a bit silly to have two texts saying the same thing in different words,
and I'm too lazy to update both.

6f855371a5 Documentation/git-format-patch.txt: Add --signoff, --check, and long option-names.
The documentation was lacking descriptions for the --signoff and --check
options to git-format-patch.  It was also missing the following long
option-names: --output-directory (-o), --numbered (-n), --keep-subject
(-k), --author (-a), --date (-d), and --mbox (-m).

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.
