Many users get confused when `git push origin master:foo` works
when foo already exists on the remote repository but are confused
when foo doesn't exist as a branch and this form does not create
the branch foo.
This new example highlights the trick of including refs/heads/
in front of the desired branch name to create a branch.

In git-push it is the remote repository and not the
local repository which is fast forwarded. The description
of the -f option in the git-push manpage gets it the other
way round.

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
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.

For now it's just to get a more descriptive name. Later we might update the
push protocol to run more than one program on the other end. Moreover this
matches better the corresponding config option remote.<name>. receivepack.
--exec continues to work

This was already documented in the options section of the manpage. This
patch implements it, adds it to the usage message, and mentions it at the
top of the manpage.

It turns out that the git-push documentation didn't describe what it
would do when not given a refspec, (not on the command line, nor in a
remotes file). This is fairly important for the user who is trying to
understand operations such as:
git clone git://something/some/where
# hack, hack, hack
git push origin
I tracked the mystery behavior down to git-send-pack and lifted the
relevant portion of its documentation up to git-push, (namely that all
refs existing both locally and remotely are updated).

The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch,
git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a
manpage section of their own.

The push and pull man pages include a bunch of shared text from
pull-fetch-param.txt. This simplifies maintenance somewhat, but
there's actually quite a bit of text that applies only to one or the
other.
So, separate out the push- and pull/fetch-specific text into
pull-fetch-param.txt and git-push.txt, then include the largest chunk
of common stuff (the description of protocols and url's) from
urls.txt. That cuts some irrelevant stuff from the man pages without
making us duplicate too much.

Previously 'git-push --tags dst', used information from
remotes/dst to determine which refs to push; this patch corrects
it, and also documents the --tags option.

Mention documentation pages that talk about update and
post-update hooks from git-push, because a frequently asked
question is "I want X to happen when I push" and people would
not know to look at git-receive-pack documentation until they
understand that is what runs on the other end.

The documentation was lazily sharing the argument description across these
commands.
Lazy may be a way of life, but that does not justify confusing others ;-).

The replacement was performed automatically by these commands:
perl -pi -e 's/link:(git.+)\.html\[\1\]/gitlink:$1\[1\]/g' \
README Documentation/*.txt
perl -pi -e 's/link:git\.html\[git\]/gitlink:git\[7\]/g' \

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.
