This introduces new build targets "man" and "html" which allow building
the documentation in the respective formats separately. This helps
people with a partial documentation build chain: html pages can be built
without xmlto.

This is documented in INSTALL now, together with corrections: Before,
instructions in INSTALL would build man+html but install man only. Now
the instructions build and install both, and new and pre-existing
targets are explained.

Note that build targets "doc" and "man" correspond to install targets
"install-doc install-html" and "install-doc" respectively. This
inconsistency is not changed, in order to keep everyone's build scripts
from breaking.

This patch introduces a make target "quick-install-html" which installs
the html documentation from the branch origin/html, without the need for
asciidoc/xmlto. This is analogous to the existing "quick-install-doc"
target for the man pages.

We advertise these targets in the INSTALL file now.

The mention of 1997 was correct when it was made, and it still is true
to some extent (http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5189
says it has not been actively maintained for quite some time).  However,
because its name changed not to conflict with us, it is no longer
relevant whether many users use gnuit or have moved away to graphical
file managers.

The only people possibly affected are people who have older version of
gnuit installed as "git".

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have

This makes the Git perl scripts check $GITPERLLIB instead of
$RUNNING_GIT_TESTS, which makes more sense if you are setting up your shell
environment to use a non-installed Git instance.

It also weeds out the @inc munging from the individual scripts and makes
Makefile add it during the .perl files processing, so that we can change
just a single place when we modify this shared logic. It looks ugly in the
scripts, too. ;-)

And instead of doing arcane things with the @inc array, we just do 'use lib'
instead, which is essentialy the same thing anyway.

I first want to do three separate patches but it turned out that it's quite
a lot neater when bundled together, so I hope it's ok.

This is beginning of patch series introducing installation configuration
using autoconf (and no other autotools) to git. The idea is to generate
config.mak.autogen using ./configure (generated from configure.ac by running
autoconf) from config.mak.in, so one can use autoconf as an _alternative_ to
ordinary Makefile, and creating one's own config.mak. Local settings in
config.mak override generated settings in config.mak.autogen

This patch includes minimal configure.ac and config.mak.in, so one can set
installation directories using autoconf generated ./configure script
e.g. ./configure --prefix=/usr

Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of
the other ones) that makes

I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be
pretty trivial, and is independent of this anyway.

There are several undocumented dependencies in the .spec and in the
INSTALL files. The following is from Fedora, perhaps other RPM
distributions call the packages differently.

Also, the manpages aren't always installed gzipped.

Updates to git-core.spec.in file:
 - Some git scripts use Perl
 - gitk needs wish, which is part of TCL/Tk.
 - curl is used all over
 - Need the ssh program from openssh-clients

Updates to INSTALL:
 - Mention wish
 - Mention ssh

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.
