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.

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.
