This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

The new flag '-d' lets you delete a branch. For safety, it does not
lets you delete the branch you are currently on, nor a branch that
has been fully merged into your current branch.
The credit for the safety check idea goes to Daniel Barkalow.

If you run `git branch --help', you will unexpectedly have created a new
branch named "--help". This simple patch adds logic and a usage
statement to catch this and similar problems, and adds a testcase for it.

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.
