[PATCH v2 0/4] doc: advertize gitdatamodel(1)

From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <redacted>

Topic name (applied): kh/doc-datamodel

Topic summary: gitdatamodel(7) is not linked to from anywhere. Let’s
mention it on other documentation pages and add a link to the glossary on
the data model page.

§ Testing

Testing done on v1. No tests done for v2.

§ Changes in v2

Thanks to Patrick for reviewing the first round.

Correct commit messages for:

• Patch 1/4, “list gitdatamodel(7) as a concept guide”
• Patch 2/4, “link to the gitdatamodel(7) tutorial”

§ Link to v1

https://lore.kernel.org/git/CV_doc_datamodel_advertize.bea@msgid.xyz/ (local)

§ Aside about context lines in gitlossary(7)

Nothing to do with this topic, but I noticed this “..” in gitglossary(7):

| Different subhierarchies are used for different purposes. For example,
| the `refs/heads/` hierarchy is used to represent local branches whereas
| the `refs/tags/` hierarchy is used to represent local tags..

From 74b50a58 (Documentation/glossary: define root refs as refs,
2024-05-15) by Patrick. Is that intentional, like an ellipsis? In other
words listing heads, then tags, then using ellipsis to communicate “you
see the pattern here”.
