This is a specialized hack to help no-base merges, but other
people might find it useful, so let's document it.

With this patch the following commands all clone into the local directory
"repo". If repo exists, it will still barf.
git-clone git://host.xz/repo.git
git-clone /path/to/repo/.git
git-clone host.xz:repo.git
I ended up doing the same source-to-target sed'ing for all our company
projects, so it was easier to add it directly to git-clone.

You could also spell it ssh://host:/path/to/repo (or git+ssh,
ssh+git), but without method:// is shorter to type, so mention
only that one in the short and sweet list.

A script that can replay commits git into a CVS checkout. Tries to ensure the
sanity of the operation and supports mainly manual usage.
If you are reckless enough, you can ask it to autocommit when everything has
applied cleanly. Combined with a couple more scripts could become part of
a git2cvs gateway.
Should support adds/removes and binary files.

This implements the idea Daniel Barkalow came up with, to match
the remotes/origin created by clone by default to the workflow I
use myself in my guinea pig repository, to have me eat my own
dog food.
We probably would want to use either .git/refs/local/heads/*
(idea by Linus) or .git/refs/heads/origin/* instead to reduce
the local ref namespace pollution.

We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line
right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the
broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such
lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion.
Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an
explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines.
Add a couple of cross references.

Clarified and added notes for pull/push refspecs.
Converted to back-ticks for literal text examples.
[jc: Also fixed git-pull description that still talked about its
calling git-resolve or git-octopus (we do not anymore; instead
we just call git-merge). BTW, I am reasonably impressed by how
well "git-am -3" applied this patch, which had some conflicts
because I've updated the documentation somewhat.]

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".
