With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.

The current "git tag -s" thing always uses the tagger name as the signing
user key, which is very irritating, since my key is under my email
address, but the tagger key obviously contains the actual machine name
too.
Now, I could just use "GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" and force it to be my real
email, but I actually think that it's nice to see which machine I use for
my work.
So rather than force my tagger ID to have to match the gpg key name, just
support the "-u" flag to "git tag" instead. It implicitly enables signing,
since it doesn't make any sense without it. Thus:
git tag -u <gpg-key-name> <tag-name> [<tagged-object>]
will use the named gpg key for signing.

Add -m/--modified to show files that have been modified wrt. the index.
[jc: The original came from Brian Gerst on Sep 1st but it only checked
if the paths were cache dirty without actually checking the files were
modified. I also added the usage string and a new test.]

Somehow I missed it when we updated read-tree to support the recursive
merge strategy. Also -i should require -m as well, which the command
did not check.

The replacement was performed automatically by these commands:

Introduce an asciidoc.conf file with the purpose of adding a gitlink:
macro which will improve the manpage output.
Original cogito patch by Jonas Fonseca <fonseca@diku.dk>;
asciidoc.conf from that patch was further enhanced to use the proper
DocBook tag <citerefentry> for references to man pages.

An earlier commit causes a mismatch in <emphasis> and <superscript>
tags, one way of fixing it is having no more than one caret symbol per
line, which is the only solution I found in the asciidoc
documentation. Ugly, but it works.
[jc: ugly indeed but that is not Peter's fault.]

AsciiDoc replace '--' with em-dash (—) by default. em-dash
looks a lot like a single long dash and it's very confusing when
we are talking about command options.
Section 21.2.8 'Replacements' of AsciiDoc's User Guide says that a
backslash in front of double dash prevent the replacement. This
patch does just that.

The --list option is what 'git branch' without parameter should
have been; it shows the one-line commit message for each branch
name. The --independent option is used to filter out commits
that can be reachable from other commits, to make detection of
fast forward condition in multi-head merge easier.

There was a lingering reference to the git-*-scripts in
the tutorial. This patch reworks that paragraph a bit.

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.

This patch changes git-cvsimport-script so that it creates tag objects
instead of refs to commits, and adds an option, -u, to convert
underscores in branch and tag names to dots (since CVS doesn't allow
dots in branches and tags.)

Replace references to "read-cache" with references to git-read-tree in the
documentation. I chose that because reference say "see read-cache about
stages", and stages are explained in git-read-tree.
