An earlier commit c5ee71f (commit: more compact summary and without extra
quotes, 2009-01-19) changed the "git commit" output when creating a
commit. This patch updates the example session in the tutorial to match
the new output.

Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more
features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and
it may work on non unix like platforms.
Also add a few links to git-help(1) in "See also" sections.

Commit c85db254 changed the format of the message produced
by "git commit" when creating a commit. This patch updates
the example session in the tutorial to the new format.
It also adds in the missing diffstat summary lines, which
should have been added long ago.

Previously, we used to print something along the lines of
Created commit abc9056 on master: Snib the sprock
but that output was sometimes confusing, as many projects use
the "subsystem: message" style of commit subjects (just like
this commit message does). When such improvements are done on
topic-branches, it's not uncommon to name the topic-branch the
same as the subsystem, leading to output like this:
Created commit abc9056 on i386: i386: Snib the sprock
which doesn't look very nice and can be highly confusing.
This patch alters the format so that the noise-word "commit"
is dropped except when it makes the output read better and
the commit subject is put inside parentheses. We also
emphasize the detached case so that users do not overlook it
in case the commit subject is long enough to extend to the
next line. The end result looks thusly:
normal case
Created abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386
detached head
Created DETACHED commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock)
While we're at it, we rename "initial commit" to "root-commit"
to align it with the argument to 'git log', producing this:
initial commit
Created root-commit abc9056 (i386: Snib the sprock) on i386
Documentation/gittutorial-2.txt is updated accordingly so that
new users recognize what they're looking at.

The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the
commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics,
as is usual for command names in manpages.
Using
doit () {
perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }'
}
for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \
merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt
do
doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i"
done
git diff
.

Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

With the conversion of HTML documentation to man pages
tutorial.html -> gittutorial (7)
tutorial-2.html -> gittutorial-2 (7)
cvs-migration.html -> gitcvs-migration (7)
diffcore.html -> gitdiffcore (7)
repository-layout.html -> gitrepository-layout (5)
hooks.html -> githooks (5)
glossary.html -> gitglossary (7)
core-tutorial.html -> gitcore-tutorial (7)
and the automatic update of references to these pages,
a little debris was left behind. We clear it away.

As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user
level, it seems better to move it to man section 1.

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:
core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt
glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt
But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.
Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly
and sometimes improved a little too.
