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.

============
[PATCH 1/4] split core-git.txt and update Split the core-git.txt file Formatting fix to the diff-format.txt Signed-off-by: David Greaves <david@dgreaves.com>

NAME
----
Make command description imperative statement, not third-person present. In several of the text messages, the tense of the verb is inconsistent. For example, "Add" vs "Creates". It is customary to use imperative for command description. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-prune - Prune all unreachable objects from the object database
[PATCH 1/4] split core-git.txt and update Split the core-git.txt file Formatting fix to the diff-format.txt Signed-off-by: David Greaves <david@dgreaves.com>
20 years ago
SYNOPSIS
--------
Add "--expire <time>" option to 'git prune' Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects. This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in an ongoing operation. This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects which are older than a certain time. For example, by git prune --expire 14.days you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated). The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime, because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and omitting the test when the platform does not support that command line switch).

This runs `git-fsck --unreachable` using all the refs
git-prune: never lose objects reachable from our refs. Explicit <head> arguments to git-prune replaces, instead of extends, the list of heads used for reachability analysis by fsck-objects. By giving a subset of heads by mistake, objects reachable only from other heads can be removed, resulting in a corrupted repository. This commit stops replacing the list of heads, and makes the command line arguments to add to them instead for safety. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly. A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \-- in the asciidoc source.
