Documentation: updates to "Everyday GIT"

Remove the introduction: I think it should be obvious why
we have this.  (And if it isn't obvious then we've got other
problems.)

Replace reference to git whatchanged by git log.

Miscellaneous style and grammar fixes.

 Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So
 ===================================
 
-GIT suite has over 100 commands, and the manual page for each of
-them discusses what the command does and how it is used in

-commands you need to know is slightly different, but in any case
-what you need to learn is far smaller than the full set of
-commands to carry out your day-to-day work.  This document is to
-serve as a cheat-sheet and a set of pointers for people playing
-various roles.
