Sebastian Kuzminsky 7984eabe07 [PATCH] manpage name conflict
This moves the git manpage to man7, since "git" isn't a direct command
per se.  It also does two other things:

    * Sort of works around the asciidoc 6.0.3 bug where the manpages all
      get called "git.1".  It just renames them to what they should have
      been called.

    * Fixes a cut-n-paste bug in git-diff-helper.txt that was making
      asciidoc choke.

git-diff-helper(1)
==================
v0.1, May 2005
NAME
----
git-diff-helper - Generates patch format output for git-diff-*
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-diff-helper' [-z] [-R] [-M]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Reads output from "git-diff-cache", "git-diff-tree" and "git-diff-files" and
generates patch format output.
OPTIONS
-------
-z::
\0 line termination on input
-R::
Output diff in reverse. This is useful for displaying output from
"git-diff-cache" which always compares tree with cache or working
file. E.g.
git-diff-cache <tree> | git-diff-helper -R file.c
would show a diff to bring the working file back to what
is in the <tree>.
-M::
Detect renames.
