We forgot to update the primary link from git.html leading to
the tutorial, and also forgot to build and install the renamed
core-tutorial document.

The current Documentation/tutorial.txt concentrates on the lower-level
git interfaces. So it's useful to people developing alternative
porcelains, to advanced users, etc., but not so much to beginning users.
I think it makes sense for the main tutorial to address those
beginnning users, so with this patch I'm proposing that we move
Documentation/tutorial.txt to Documentation/core-tutorial.txt and
replace it by a new tutorial.

This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.
When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it
is easier to see which one is the current branch this way.

The initial section of tutorial was too heavy on internal
workings for the first-time readers, so rewrite the introductory
section of git(7) to start with "not learning core git commands"
section and refer them to README to grasp the basic concepts,
then Everyday to give overview with task/role oriented examples
for minimum set of commands, and finally the tutorial.
Also add to existing note in the tutorial that many too
technical descriptions can be skipped by a casual reader.
I initially started to review the tutorial, with the objective
of ripping out the detailed technical information altogether,
but I found that the level of details in the initial couple of
sections that talk about refs and the object database in a
hands-on fashion was about rigth, and left all of them there. I
feel that reading about fsck-index and repack is too abstract
without being aware of these directories and files.

The branch policy script I outlined was improved and polished by
Carl and posted on the list twice since then. It is a shame not
to pick it up, so replace the original outline in
howto/update-hook-example.txt with the latest from Carl.
Also talk about setting up git-shell to allow git-push/git-fetch
only SSH access to a shared repository host in the tutorial.

The "copying over packs" step is to prevent the objects
available in upstream repository to get expanted in the
subsystem maintainer tree, and is still valid if the upstream
repository do not live on the same machine. But if they are on
the same machine using objects/info/alternates is cleaner.

While discussing Jon's ASCII art on merge operations with him, I

Lacking reliable symlinks, the instructions in the tutorial did not work
in a cygwin setup. Also, a few outputs were not correct.
This patch fixes these, and adds a test case which follows the
instructions of the tutorial (except git-clone, -fetch and -push, which I
have not done yet).

In the tutorial, there is a section entitled "Checking it out"
that shows how to use diff log and whatchanged to insect some
of the repository state.
As the phrase "checkout" ususally carries some baggage WRT
other revision control mechanism, I suggest that we re-title
this section something like "Inspecting Changes".

AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (—) by default. em-dash
looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when
we are talking about command options.
Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a
backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This
patch does just that.

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.

- Start formatting tutorial with asciidoc.
- Mention shared repository style of cooperation.
- Update with some usability enhancements recently made, such as

Darrin Thompson noticed when he was showing off GIT to others
that the use of filenames "a" and "b" in the tutorial example
was unnecessarily confusing, especially with our "patch -p1"
prefix a/ and b/, without giving us any patch. I was very
tempted to change them back to l/ and k/ prefixes, but decided
to restrain myself and update the tutorial instead ;-).
