[PATCH v8 0/5] group common commands by theme

From: Sébastien Guimmara <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:04:49

No major improvement over v7 [1], this v8 drops the [common] and 
[commands] headers, instead relying on commented headers 
"### command list" and "### common groups." to avoid ulgy looking 
sed/awk parsing.

generate-cmdlist.awk: slight modification to allow parsing of those
headers.

git help: the colon at the end of each group is dropped.

Summary: to help unfamiliar users grok the Git workflow, rework the 
output of 'git help' by grouping the commands by theme:

   The typical Git workflow includes:

   start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
      clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
      init       Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an [...]

   work on the current change (see also: git help everyday)
      add        Add file contents to the index
      mv         Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
      reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state
      rm         Remove files from the working tree and from the index
   [...]

This series depends on bf990a2 (command-list: fix whitespace 
inconsistency)[2]
