While trying to implement a pack reader in Java I was mislead by
some facts listed in this documentation as well as found a few
details to be missing about the pack header.

I'd rather avoid git cat-file so early on, but the

Kind of silly, but the font I get by default in gitk makes it mostly
unusable for me, so this is the first thing I'd want to know about.
(But maybe there's a better suggestion than just Ctrl-='ing until
satisfied.)

As both DESTDIR and the prefix are supposed to be absolute pathnames
they can simply be concatenated without an extra / (like in the main Makefile).
The extra slash may even break installation on Windows.
[jc: adjusted an earlier workaround for this problem in the dist-doc
target in the main Makefile as well. ]

Expand the history-browsing section of the tutorial a bit, in part to
address Junio's suggestion that we mention "git grep" and Linus's
complaint that people are missing the flexibility of the commandline
interfaces for selecting commits.
This reads a little more like a collection of examples than a
"tutorial", but maybe that's what people need at this point.

Since large quilt trees like -mm can easily have patches
without clear authorship information, add a --dry-run
option to make the problem patches easy to find.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Importing a quilt patch series into git is not very difficult
but parsing the patch descriptions and all of the other
minutia take a bit of effort to get right, so this automates it.
Since git and quilt complement each other it makes sense
to make it easy to go back and forth between the two.
If a patch is encountered that it cannot derive the author
from the user is asked.

"git branch" uses "rev-parse --all" and becomes much too slow when

When optional paths arguments are given, git-clean passes them
to underlying git-ls-files; with this, you can say:
git clean 'temp-*'
to clean only the garbage files whose names begin with 'temp-'.

After running 'git-update-index' for some paths, you may want to
do the update on the same set of paths again.
The new flag --again checks the paths whose index entries are
are different from the HEAD commit and updates them from the
working tree contents.
This was brought up by Carl Worth on #git.
