[PATCH] stgit: make tutorial a valid asciidoc article

From: Pavel Roskin <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:16
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

There should be only one level 0 title in an article, so lower ranks of
all headers by one.  Make capitalization uniform in the headers - level
1 is capitalized, but level 2 is not.  Create a new level 1 part
"Technical Information".

Make ".git/ Directory Structure" a level 2 header and rephrase.
asciidoc doesn't like headers starting with a dot.
