1c601af25a Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained list
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools
came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to
maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill
that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained
list.

The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant
second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a
reference to it.

Descriptive text for each tool item is incorrectly formatted using a
fixed width font. Fix formatting to use a variable width font by
unindenting the item text.

fd8c620cd9 Documentation/git-tools: improve discoverability of Git wiki
These days, the best way to find Git-related tools is via a search
engine. The Git wiki may be a distant second, and git-tools.txt falls in
last place. Therefore, promote the Git wiki reference to the top of
git-tools.txt so the reader will encounter it first, rather than hiding
it away at the very bottom.

48a8c26c62 Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT
In the earlier days, we used to spell the name of the system as GIT,
to simulate as if it were typeset with capital G and IT in small
caps.  Later we stopped doing so at around 1.6.5 days.

Let's stop doing so throughout the documentation.  The name to refer
to the whole system (and the concept it embodies) is "Git"; the
command end-users type is "git".  And document this in the coding
guideline.

98d47d4ccf Add hg-to-git conversion utility.
hg-to-git.py  is able to convert a Mercurial repository into a git one,
and preserves the branches in the process (unlike tailor)

hg-to-git.py can probably be greatly improved (it's a rather crude
combination of shell and python) but it does already work quite well for
me. Features:
	- supports incremental conversion
	  (for keeping a git repo in sync with a hg one)
	- supports hg branches
	- converts hg tags
