Manual clean-up of cross-references, and also clean up a few definitions (e.g.
git-rebase).

f562e6f316 glossary: stop generating automatically
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.

But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.

Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted
the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

f65bb2c66f Documentation: update glossary entry for "origin"
Update glossary entry for "origin" to reflect fact that it normally now refers
to a remote repository, not a branch.

Also, warning not to work on remote-tracking branches is no longer necessary
since git doesn't allow that.

user, these words have not the same meaning as to you.

da139813a7 [PATCH] Add GIT glossary
[jc: This is the version without asciidoc cross references;
Johannes says that the cross referenced one is generated from
this file using a Perl script, so I am placing this as the
source, and expecting to later receive the script and a Makefile
entry or two to massage this file into the final HTML or
whatever form.]
