Some old scripts might still use git-rev-tree, but it really is
clearly inferior in every way to git-rev-list that such scripts should
be fixed anyway. Fixing them should be pretty easy.

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.

Now the rebase is rewritten to use git cherry-pick, there is no user
for that ancient script. I've checked Cogito and StGIT to make sure
they do not use it.

Various updates and cleanups for my howto on using branches in GIT
as a Linux subsystem maintainer. Three categories of changes:
1) Updates for new features in GIT 0.99.5
2) Changes to use "git fetch" rather than "git pull" to update
local linus branch.
3) Cleanups suggested by Len Brown

Small fix (use "git branch" to make branches, rather than "git checkout -b").
Optimization for trivial patches (apply to release and merge to test).
Three sample scripts appended.

I would eventually like to move this to become a part of the tutorial,
but anyway, this was an excellent post that describes how topic
branches can be used to keep track of local changes.
I think these are useful, and I think putting them in a new "howto"
directory might help some users until we get to the point of splitting
up the tutorial to be easier to read.
Given the authorship, I think it's safe to put these in the repository.
