The post-update hook, which is required to be enabled in order for
the repository to be accessible over HTTP, is not enabled by
chmod a+x anymore, but instead by dropping the .sample suffix.
This patch emphasizes this change in the release notes (since
I believe this is rather noticeable backwards-incompatible change).
It also adjusts the documentation which still described the old way
and fixes t/t5540-http-push.sh, which was broken for 1.5 month
but apparently noone ever runs this test.

"git commit -a" ignores untracked files and follows all tracked
files, regardless of whether they are listed in .gitignore. So
don't use it to motivate gitignore.

Since version 1.5.6 "git bisect" doesn't use a "bisect" branch any
more, but the user manual had not been updated to reflect this.
So this patch does that and while at it also adds a few words about
"git bisect skip" and points user to the "git bisect" man page for
more information.

With git-am, it sounds awkward to have the patches in ".git/rebase/",
but for technical reasons, we have to keep the same directory name
for git-am and git-rebase. ".git/rebase-apply" seems to be a good
compromise.

Since the files generated and used during a rebase are never to be
tracked, they should live in $GIT_DIR. While at it, avoid the rather
meaningless term "dotest" to "rebase", and unhide ".dotest-merge".
This was wished for on the mailing list, but so far unimplemented.

With git-commands moving out of $(bindir), it is useful to make a
clearer distinction between the git subcommand 'git-whatever' and
the command you type, `git whatever <options>`. So we use a dash
after "git" when referring to the former and not the latter.
I already sent a patch doing this same thing, but I missed some
spots.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
versions are identical.

The manual page for the command invoked as "git clone" is named
git-clone(1), and similarly for the rest of the git commands.
Make sure our first example of this in tutorials makes it clear
that it is the first two words of a command line that make up the
command's name (that is: for example, the effect of "git svn
dcommit" is described in git-svn(1)).

This patch renames the following documents and at the same time converts
them to the man format:
core-tutorial.txt -> gitcore-tutorial.txt
glossary.txt -> gitglossary.txt
But as the glossary is included in the user manual and as the new
gitglossary man page cannot be included as a whole in the user manual,
the actual glossary content is now in its own "glossary-content.txt"
new file. And this file is included by both the user manual and the
gitglossary man page.
Other documents that reference the above ones are changed accordingly
and sometimes improved a little too.

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.

This commit adds a discussion of the challenge of bisecting
merge commits to the user manual. The original author is
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>, who posted the text to
the mailing list <http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119403257315527&w=2>.
His email was adapted for the manual.
The discussion is added to "Rewriting history and maintainig
patch series". The text added requires good understanding of
merging and rebasing. Therefore it should not be placed too
early in the manual. Right after the section on "Problems with
rewriting history", the discussion of bisect gives another reason
for linearizing as much of the history as possible.
The text includes suggestions and fixes by
Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@gmx.de> and
Benoit Sigoure <tsuna@lrde.epita.fr>.

Junio screwed up when applying the previous round of the patch;
rewording from "previous" to "old" does make the description
clearer.
Also revert the rewording from head to branch. The description
is talking about the branch's tip commit and using the word head
is clearer.

If I'm handed a file, then it typically lives outside the

also find renamed files. However, it is also slower.
