this is v3 of my patch series for creating a single PDF for all
git documentation files.

There are only 2 changes since v2 (thanks to Junio for pointing me at these issues) :
- The over-long lines in git-bisect-lk2009.txt where shortened by abbreviating the SHA1s.
- Pretty-printing the shell script in update-hook-example.txt was fixed.

To sum up, this patch series provides the following new "features":
- Make target "html" now creates HTML for ALL files in ./Documentation/howto and ./Documentation/technical
- New make target "fullpdf" first creates HTML for all files in ./Documentation/RelNotes and then collates all HTML 
files in ./Documentation and its subdirs (except user-manual.html) in one single PDF file.

This approach is of course not an optimal one but by using wkhtmltopdf
it could be carried out easily.
I am not interested in adding a build target that requires (a
patched version of) wkhtmltopdf at all, but the earlier parts of
this series do look like good clean-ups and useful conversions to
asciidoc, regardless of which tool we end up deciding to use to
produce the final output.  Thanks for working on this.

I (and other people who wrote documentation, I suspect, as well)
feel somewhat offended by the word "fix" here and there in the
message in commits that turn files that so far have been plain text
into asciidoc, though ;-).
