Junio C Hamano 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.

git-cherry-pick(1)
==================
v0.99.5 Aug 2005
NAME
----
git-cherry-pick - Apply the change introduced by an existing commit.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-cherry-pick' [-n] [-r] <commit>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Given one existing commit, apply the change the patch introduces, and record a
new commit that records it. This requires your working tree to be clean (no
modifications from the HEAD commit).
OPTIONS
-------
<commit>::
Commit to cherry-pick.
-r::
Usuall the command appends which commit was
cherry-picked after the original commit message when
making a commit. This option, '--replay', causes it to
use the original commit message intact. This is useful
when you are reordering the patches in your private tree
before publishing, and is used by 'git rebase'.
-n::
Usually the command automatically creates a commit with
a commit log message stating which commit was
cherry-picked. This flag applies the change necessary
to cherry-pick the named commit to your working tree,
but does not make the commit. In addition, when this
option is used, your working tree does not have to match
the HEAD commit. The cherry-pick is done against the
beginning state of your working tree.
This is useful when cherry-picking more than one commits'
effect to your working tree in a row.
