548afb0d9a docs: typofixes
These were found with an automated CLI tool [1]. Only the
"Documentation" subfolder (and not source code files) was considered
because the docs are user-facing.

236bae14da gitweb.txt: change "folder" to "directory"
We prefer "directory" over "folder" when discussing the file system
concept. Change this instance for consistency.

After this, the only hits for '\<folder\>' in Documentation/ relate to
IMAP folders.

eee7f4a233 doc: change environment variables format
This change GIT_* variables that where in italic style to monospaced font
according to the guideline. It was obtained with

	perl -pi -e "s/\'(GIT_.*?)\'/\`\1\`/g" *.txt

One of the main purposes is to stick to the CodingGuidelines as possible so
that people writting new documentation by mimicking the existing are more likely
to have it right (even if they didn't read the CodingGuidelines).

2df85669d1 Documentation: fix documentation AsciiDoc links for external urls
Turns out that putting 'link:' before the 'http' is actually superfluous
in AsciiDoc, as there's already a predefined macro to handle it.

"http, https, [etc] URLs are rendered using predefined inline macros."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_urls

"Hypertext links to files on the local file system are specified
using the link inline macro."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_linking_to_local_documents

Despite being superfluous, the reference implementation of AsciiDoc
tolerates the extra 'link:' and silently removes it, giving a functioning
link in the generated HTML. However, AsciiDoctor (the Ruby implementation
of AsciiDoc used to render the http://git-scm.com/ site) does /not/ have
this behaviour, and so generates broken links, as can be seen here:

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cvsimport (links to cvs2git & parsecvs)
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch (link to The BFG)

It's worth noting that after this change, the html generated by 'make html'
in the git project is identical, and all links still work.

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.

07ea4df278 gitweb: Add gitweb(1) manpage for gitweb itself
Most of what is in gitweb.txt it has been pulled directly from the
README and INSTALL files of gitweb.

Current version is somewhat based on structure of SVN::Web manpage
(one of web interfaces for Subversion).

gitweb.conf(5) i.e. gitweb configuration manpage now refers to
appropriate sections in gitweb(1).  gitweb/README now refers to
gitweb/INSTALL and gitweb(1) manpage.  gitweb/INSTALL now refers to
gitweb.conf(5) and gitweb(1).
