Junio C Hamano e34c7e2b51 Merge branch 'ta/doc-no-small-caps'
Update documentation to change "GIT" which was a poor-man's small
caps to "Git".  The latter was the intended spelling.

Also change "git" spelled in all-lowercase to "Git" when it refers
to the system as the whole or the concept it embodies, as opposed to
the command the end users would type.

* ta/doc-no-small-caps:
  Documentation: StGit is the right spelling, not StGIT
  Documentation: describe the "repository" in repository-layout
  Documentation: add a description for 'gitfile' to glossary
  Documentation: do not use undefined terms git-dir and git-file
  Documentation: the name of the system is 'Git', not 'git'
  Documentation: avoid poor-man's small caps GIT

git-stripspace(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git stripspace' [-s | --strip-comments] < input
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Clean the input in the manner used by Git for text such as commit
messages, notes, tags and branch descriptions.
With no arguments, this will:
- remove trailing whitespace from all lines
- collapse multiple consecutive empty lines into one empty line
- remove empty lines from the beginning and end of the input
- add a missing '\n' to the last line if necessary.
In the case where the input consists entirely of whitespace characters, no
output will be produced.
*NOTE*: This is intended for cleaning metadata, prefer the `--whitespace=fix`
mode of linkgit:git-apply[1] for correcting whitespace of patches or files in
the repository.
OPTIONS
-------
-s::
--strip-comments::
Skip and remove all lines starting with comment character (default '#').
-c::
--comment-lines::
Prepend comment character and blank to each line. Lines will automatically
be terminated with a newline. On empty lines, only the comment character
will be prepended.
EXAMPLES
--------
Given the following noisy input with '$' indicating the end of a line:
--------
|A brief introduction $
| $
|$
|A new paragraph$
|# with a commented-out line $
|explaining lots of stuff.$
|$
|# An old paragraph, also commented-out. $
| $
|The end.$
| $
---------
Use 'git stripspace' with no arguments to obtain:

|$
|A new paragraph$
|# with a commented-out line$
|explaining lots of stuff.$
|$
|# An old paragraph, also commented-out.$
|$
|The end.$
