This patch tries to make the description of --auto a little
more clear for new users, especially those referred by the
"git-gc --auto" notification message.
It also cleans up some grammatical errors and typos in the
original description, as well as rewording for clarity.

Now that git-gc --auto tells the user to look at the man
page, it makes sense to mention the auto behavior near the
top (since this is likely to be most users' first exposure
to git-gc).

This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the
external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be
specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path.
The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches
and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details
about a tool.
The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external
programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

git-rebase uses format-patch's --ignore-if-in-upstream
option, but we never document the user-visible behavior. The
example is placed near the top of the example list rather
than at the bottom because it is:
a. a simple example
b. a reasonably common scenario for many projects (mail
some patches which get accepted upstream, then rebase)

If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the
working directory. git-log only operates on in-tree files,
so the first 'filename' should be an in-tree one, or it should
look at all files. This patch does the latter, so it would
also find renamed files. However, it is also slower.

The default behaviour of git-push is potentially confusing
for new users, since it will push changes that are not on
the current branch. Publishing patches that were still
cooking on a development branch is hard to undo.
It would also be nice to be able to verify the expansion
of refspecs if you've edited them, so that you know
what branches matched on the server.
Adding a --dry-run flag allows the user to experiment
safely and learn how to use git-push properly. Originally
suggested by Steffen Prohaska.

running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and
Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for
single-user standalone invocations.
the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read
httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this
script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a
shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner,
which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.

grab_date() gets an extra parameter - atomname; this extra parameter is
checked to see if it has a ":<format>" extra component in it, and if so
that "<format>" string is passed to parse_date_format() to produce an
enum date_mode value which is then further passed to show_date().
In short it allows the user of git-for-each-ref to do things like this:
$ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:default)' refs/tags/v1.5.2
Sun May 20 00:30:42 2007 -0700
$ git-for-each-ref --format='%(taggerdate:relative)' refs/tags/v1.5.2

git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.
This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.
Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.
The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.
