Re: docs and completion and dashless commands

First off, I'm not too keen on these dashless commands.
- We now have `man git-X` but can't run `git-X`
- A separate completion script must be installed for bash
- Lose completion for all other shells
- History expansion is complicated (e.g. `!git-push` vs `!git push`)

Please stop and leave the dead horse lie in piece.  You are more than a
year too late.

Anyway, could someone modify INSTALL to mention
contrib/completion/git-completion.bash and putting `git --exec-path`
in PATH for other shells?

And please nobody waste time on the latter.  "git-foo" form for builtins
will be removed from the filesystem eventually and at that point:

	#!/bin/sh

	PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
        .. do its thing ..
        git-commit -a -m 'funny wrapper created commit'

will _stop_ working.  If somebody is starting a new script there is no
point using the form only to later update to the dashless form.

These docs might also instruct users to call
git-config and set their global username and email.

Please read the first few paragraphs of gittutorial(7).
