Richard Hansen a8a5406ab3 use 'commit-ish' instead of 'committish'
Replace 'committish' in documentation and comments with 'commit-ish'
to match gitglossary(7) and to be consistent with 'tree-ish'.

The only remaining instances of 'committish' are:
  * variable, function, and macro names
  * "(also committish)" in the definition of commit-ish in
    gitglossary[7]

Thomas Ackermann 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.

Jonathan Nieder 130ab8ab9c Eliminate “Finished cherry-pick/revert” message
When cherry-pick was written (v0.99.6~63, 2005-08-27), “git commit”
was quiet, and the output from cherry-pick provided useful information
about the progress of a rebase.

Now next to the output from “git commit”, the cherry-pick notification
is so much noise (except for the name of the picked commit).

 $ git cherry-pick ..topic
 Finished cherry-pick of 499088b.
 [detached HEAD 17e1ff2] Move glob module to libdpkg

 [detached HEAD 058caa3] libdpkg: Add missing symbols to Versions script
  Author: Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>

 $

The noise is especially troublesome when sifting through the output of
a rebase or multiple cherry-pick that eventually failed.

With the commit subject, it is already not hard to figure out where
the commit came from.  So drop the “Finished” message.

Junio C Hamano a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

Junio C Hamano ebedc31952 show-branch: make the current branch and merge commits stand out.
This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.

When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it
is easier to see which one is the current branch this way.

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.
