Document Junio's show-branch trick for finding out which tags are

I still really want a section on interoperability with CVS, subversion,
etc., but I'm not getting around to it very fast, so just add this to
the TODO section for now. And a few other minor todo updates.

Add a brief discussion of reflogs. Also recovery of dangling commits

Direct editing of config files may be more natural for users than using
the git-config commandline; but we should still reference the
git-config man page when we describe such editing, so people know where
to go for details on the config file syntax and meanings of the
variables.

Looks like we're going to allow git-config as the preferred alias to

Keep git remote discussion in the first chapter, but postpone
lower-level git fetch usage (to fetch individual branches) till later.
Import a bunch of slightly modified text from the readme to give an
architectural overview at the end.
Add more discussion of history rewriting.
And a bunch of other miscellaneous changes....

It appears git-gc will no longer prune automatically, so we don't
need to tell people not to do other stuff while running it.

Since references may be packed, it's no longer as helpful to

Steven Grimm noticed that git-repack's verbosity is inconsistent
because pack-objects is chatty and prune-packed is not. This
makes the latter a bit more chatty and gives -q option to
squelch it.

While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git
command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good
idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead.

Despite what the documentation claims, git-commit does not check commit
for suspicious lines: all hooks are disabled by default,
and the pre-comit hook could be changed to do something else.

These days, the command does a lot more than just initialise the
object database (such as setting default config-variables,
installing template hooks...), and "git init" is actually a more

Correct command line examples of repo-config, format-patch and am.
A full object name is 40-hexdigit; it may be 20-byte but
20-digit is misleading.

Since we are talking about allowing potentially incompatible UI
changes in v1.5.0 iff the change improves the general situation,
I would say why not.

The goals are:
- Readable from beginning to end in order without having read
any other git documentation beforehand.
- Helpful section names and cross-references, so it's not too
hard to skip around some if you need to.
- Organized to allow it to grow much larger (unlike the
tutorials)
It's more liesurely than tutorial.txt, but tries to stay focused on
practical how-to stuff. It adds a discussion of how to resolve merge
conflicts, and partial instructions on setting up and dealing with a
public repository.
I've lifted a little bit from "branching and merging" (e.g., some of the
discussion of history diagrams), and could probably steal more if that's
OK. (Similarly anyone should of course feel free to reuse bits of this
if any parts seem more useful than the whole.)
There's a lot of detail on managing branches and using git-fetch, just
because those are essential even to people needing read-only access
(e.g., kernel testers). I think those sections will be much shorter
once the new "git remote" command and the disconnected checkouts are
taken into account.
I do feel bad about adding yet another piece of documentation, but I we
need something that goes through all the basics in a logical order, and
I wasn't seeing how to grow the tutorials into that.

Edit for conciseness.
Add a "Making changes" section header.
When possible, make sure that stuff in text boxes could be entered literally.
(Don't use "..." unless we want a user to type that.)
Move 'commit -a' example into a literal code section, clarify that it finds
modified files automatically.
