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-status(1)
=============
v0.99.4, Aug 2005
NAME
----
git-status - Show working tree status.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git status'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded
to the index file, and changes between the index file and the
current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_
commit by running 'git-update-index' before running 'git
commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by
running 'git commit'.
If there is no path that is different between the index file and
the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero
status.
OUTPUT
------
The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
