It was a neat trick to show that you could introduce the git-add manual
page without using the word "index", and it was certainly an improvement
over the previous man page (which started out "A simple wrapper for
git-update-index to add files to the index...").
But it's possible to use the standard terminology without sacrificing
user-friendliness. So, rewrite to use the word "index" when
appropriate.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

During the discussion of core.excludesfile in the user-manual, I realized
that the configuration wasn't mentioned in the man pages.

Instead of just warning, refuse to add otherwise ignored files
by default, and allow it with an -f option.

One thing many people found confusing about git-add was that a
file whose name matches an ignored pattern could not be added to
the index. With this, such a file can be added by explicitly
spelling its name to git-add.
Fileglobs and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files to
the index. That is, if a pattern '*.o' is in .gitignore, and
two files foo.o, bar/baz.o are in the working tree:
$ git add foo.o
$ git add '*.o'
$ git add bar
Only the first form adds foo.o to the index.

This brings the power of the index up front using a proper mental model
without talking about the index at all. See for example how all the
technical discussion has been evacuated from the git-add man page.
Any content to be committed must be added together. Whether that
content comes from new files or modified files doesn't matter. You
just need to "add" it, either with git-add, or by providing
git-commit with -a (for already known files only of course).
No need for a separate command to distinguish new vs modified files
please. That would only screw the mental model everybody should have
when using GIT.

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.

Pair up git-add and git-rm by adding a 'see also' section that
references the opposite command to each of their documentation files.

This adds support to git-add to allow the common -- to separate
command-line options and file names. It adds documentation and a new
git-add test case as well.
[jc: this should apply to 1.2.X maintenance series, so I reworked
git-ls-files --error-unmatch test. ]

Its use of git-ls-files --others is very nice, but sometimes gives
surprising results, so we'd better talk about it.

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.
