This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Only git-ls-files(1) describes the gitignore format in detail, and it does so
with reference to git-ls-files options. Most users don't use the plumbing
command git-ls-files directly, and shouldn't have to look in its manpage for
information on the gitignore format.
Create a new manpage gitignore(5) (Documentation/gitignore.txt), and factor
out the gitignore documentation into that file, changing it to refer to
.gitignore and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude as used by porcelain commands. Reference
gitignore(5) from other relevant manpages and documentation. Remove
now-redundant information on exclude patterns from git-ls-files(1), leaving
only information on how git-ls-files options specify exclude patterns and what
precedence they have.

Use .git/info/exclude in the example in git-ls-files.txt,

at .git/info/exclude in repository-layout.txt.

A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly
as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \--
in the asciidoc source. Note, no backslash is needed
inside a literal block.

Without the --directory flag, git-ls-files wouldn't ever list directories,
producing no output for empty directories, which is good since they cannot
be added and they bear no content, even untracked one (if Git ever starts
tracking directories on their own, this should obviously change since the
content notion will change).
With the --directory flag however, git-ls-files would list even empty
directories. This may be good in some situations but sometimes you want to
prevent that. This patch adds a --no-empty-directory option which makes
git-ls-files omit empty directories.

This patch makes the documentation refer to the index
as index instead of cache, but some references still
remain. (e.g. git-update-index.txt)

The fixes focuses on improving the HTML output. Most noteworthy:
- Fix the Makefile to also make various *.html files depend on
included files.
- Consistently use 'NOTE: ...' instead of '[ ... ]' for additional
info.
- Fix ending '::' for description lists in OPTION section etc.
- Fix paragraphs in description lists ending up as preformated text.
- Always use listingblocks (preformatted text wrapped in lines with -----)
for examples that span empty lines, so they are put in only one HTML
block.
- Use '1.' instead of '(1)' for numbered lists.
- Fix linking to other GIT docs.
- git-rev-list.txt: put option descriptions in an OPTION section.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index.
[jc: The original came from Brian Gerst on Sep 1st but it only checked
if the paths were cache dirty without actually checking the files were
modified. I also added the usage string and a new test.]

Replace references to "read-cache" with references to git-read-tree in the
documentation. I chose that because reference say "see read-cache about
stages", and stages are explained in git-read-tree.

When checkout-cache attempts to check out a non-directory where
a directory exists on the work tree, or to check out a file
under directory D when path D is a non-directory on the work
tree, the attempt fails. Before running checkout-cache, the
user can run git-ls-files with the -k (killed) option to get a
list of such paths. The tagged output format uses "K" to denote
them. This is useful for Porcelain layer to be careful when
dealing with the recently corrected behaviour of checkout-cache.
