Ensure that the same link is not repeated in single glossary entry,
and that there is no self-link i.e. link to current entry.
Add links to other definitions in git glossary.
Remove inappropriate (nonsense) links, or change link to link to
correct definition (to correct term).

Revise and expand some of the definitions in the glossary, based in part
on a recent thread started by a user looking for help with some of the
jargon. I've borrowed some of the language from Linus's email on that
thread. (I'm assuming standing permission to plagiarize Linus's
email....)
Also start making a few changes to mitigate the appearance of
"circularity" mentioned in that thread:
- feel free to use somewhat longer definitions and to explain
some things more than once instead of relying purely on
cross-references
- don't use cross-references when they're redundant: eliminate
self-references and repeated references to the same entry.

Manual clean-up of cross-references, and also clean up a few definitions (e.g.
git-rebase).

The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.
But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.
Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted
the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

Update glossary entry for "origin" to reflect fact that it normally now refers
to a remote repository, not a branch.
Also, warning not to work on remote-tracking branches is no longer necessary
since git doesn't allow that.

If you are a long time git user/developer, you forget that to a new git
user, these words have not the same meaning as to you.

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)

Based on the discussion on the git list, here are some important changes
to the glossary. (There is no cache, but an index. Use "object name"
rather than "SHA1". Reorder. Clarify.)

[jc: This is the version without asciidoc cross references;
Johannes says that the cross referenced one is generated from
this file using a Perl script, so I am placing this as the
source, and expecting to later receive the script and a Makefile
entry or two to massage this file into the final HTML or
whatever form.]
