Asciidoc-include it into the manuals for programs that use the
--pretty command-line option, for consistency among the docs.
This describes all the pretty-formats currently listed in the cmit_fmt
enum in commit.h, and also briefly describes the presence and format
of the 'Merge: ' line in some pretty formats.
There's a hedge that limiting your view of history can affect what
goes in the Merge: line, and that --abbrev/--no-abbrev do nothing to
the 'raw' format.

A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly
as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \--
in the asciidoc source. Note, no backslash is needed
inside a literal block.

I don't think people really follow the links or think very abstractly at
all in the first place.
So I was thinking more of some explicit examples. I actually think every
command should have an example in the man-page, and hey, here's a patch to
start things off.
Of course, I'm not exactly "Mr Documentation", and I don't know that this
is the prettiest way to do this, but I checked that the resulting html and
man-page seems at least reasonable.
And hey, if the examples look like each other, that's just because I'm
also not "Mr Imagination".

The synopsis of the manpages should use the hyphenated version of the git
commands. Adapt the remaining offenders.

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' \
README Documentation/*.txt

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.
