We might eventually be loosening this rule, but there is a longstanding
restriction that the users currently need to be aware of.

When the upstream branch is tracked, we can detect if that branch
was rebased since it was last fetched. Teach git to use that
information to rebase from the old remote head onto the new remote head.

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

When calling 'git pull' with the '--rebase' option, it performs a
fetch + rebase instead of a fetch + merge.
This behavior is more desirable than fetch + pull when a topic branch
is ready to be submitted and needs to be update.
fetch + rebase might also be considered a better workflow with shared
repositories in any case, or for contributors to a centrally managed
repository, such as WINE's.
As a convenience, you can set the default behavior for a branch by
defining the config variable branch.<name>.rebase, which is
interpreted as a bool. This setting can be overridden on the command
line by --rebase and --no-rebase.

Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking
URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.
Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt. The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make
as much sense.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have

1) talk about "git merge" instead of "git pull ."
2) suggest "git repo-config" instead of directly editing config files
3) echo "URL: blah" > .git/remotes/foo is obsolete and should be
"git repo-config remote.foo.url blah"
4) support for partial URL prefix has been removed (see commit
ea560e6d64) so drop mention of it.

Update examples, stop using branch named "origin" as an example.
Remove large example of use of remotes; that particular case is
nicely automated by default, so it's not so pressing to explain, and
we can refer to git-repo-config for the details.

Morten Welinder says examples of resetting is really about

from commands that cause a reset to be needed in the first place
would be very helpful.

We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line
right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the
broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such
lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion.
Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an
explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines.
Add a couple of cross references.

Clarified and added notes for pull/push refspecs.
Converted to back-ticks for literal text examples.
[jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its
calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead
we just call git-merge). BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how
well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts
because I've updated the documentation somewhat.]

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.
