Junio C Hamano 215a7ad1ef Big tool rename.
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.

git-commit(1)
=============
v0.99.4, Aug 2005
NAME
----
git-commit - Record your changes
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git commit' [-a] [-s] [-v] [(-c | -C) <commit> | -F <file> | -m <msg>] [-e] <file>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Updates the index file for given paths, or all modified files if
'-a' is specified, and makes a commit object. The command
VISUAL and EDITOR environment variables to edit the commit log
message.
This command can run `commit-msg`, `pre-commit`, and
`post-commit` hooks. See link:hooks.html[hooks] for more
information.
OPTIONS
-------
-a::
Update all paths in the index file.
-c or -C <commit>::
Take existing commit object, and reuse the log message
and the authorship information (including the timestamp)
when creating the commit. With '-C', the editor is not
invoked; with '-c' the user can further edit the commit
message.
-F <file>::
Take the commit message from the given file. Use '-' to
read the message from the standard input.
-m <msg>::
Use the given <msg> as the commit message.
-s::
Add Signed-off-by line at the end of the commit message.
-v::
Look for suspicious lines the commit introduces, and
abort committing if there is one. The definition of
'suspicious lines' is currently the lines that has
trailing whitespaces, and the lines whose indentation
has a SP character immediately followed by a TAB
character.
-e::
The message taken from file with `-F`, command line with
`-m`, and from file with `-C` are usually used as the
commit log message unmodified. This option lets you
further edit the message taken from these sources.
<file>...::
Update specified paths in the index file before committing.
