command-list.txt: add the common groups block

2015-05-21T20:03:37+00:00

The ultimate goal is for "git help" to display common commands in
groups rather than alphabetically. As a first step, define the
groups in a new block, and then assign a group to each
common command.

Add a block at the beginning of command-list.txt:

    init         start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
    worktree     work on the current change (see also:[...]
    info         examine the history and state (see also: git [...]
    history      grow, mark and tweak your history
    remote       collaborate (see also: git help workflows)

storing information about common commands group, then map each common
command to a group:

    git-add          mainporcelain        common worktree

howto: document more tools for recovery corruption

2015-04-02T05:44:03+00:00

Long ago, I documented a corruption recovery I did and gave
some C code that I used to help find a flipped bit.  I had
to fix a similar case recently, and I ended up writing a few
more tools.  I hope nobody ever has to use these, but it
does not hurt to share them, just in case.

Documentation: typofixes

2014-11-04T21:14:44+00:00

In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about
the following points:

 - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS;
 - Spell Linux as Capitalized;
 - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

How to keep a project's canonical history correct.

2014-05-28T20:35:43+00:00

During the mail thread about "Pull is mostly evil" a user asked how
the first parent could become reversed.

This howto explains how the first parent can get reversed when viewed
by the project and then explains a method to keep the history correct.

howto/maintain-git.txt: new version numbering scheme

2014-02-05T22:14:00+00:00

We wanted to call the upcoming release "Git 1.9", with its
maintenance track being "Git 1.9.1", "Git 1.9.2", etc., but various
third-party tools are reported to assume that there are at least
three dewey-decimal components in our version number.

Adjust the plan so that vX.Y.0 are feature releases while vX.Y.Z
(Z > 0) are maintenance releases.
