The program is not used by git-clone since git-fetch-pack was extended
to allow its caller do what git-clone-pack alone did, and git-clone was
updated to use it.

Well, assuming breaking --merge-order is fine, here's a patch (on top of
the other ones) that makes

	git log <filename>

actually work, as far as I can tell.

I didn't add the logic for --before/--after flags, but that should be
pretty trivial, and is independent of this anyway.

I think most people will want to install the man pages as well.

[jc: incorporated Pasky's comment on not building them as root.
Some people may not want to install asciidoc/xmlto toolchain, so
redirect them to the man and html branches of the git.git
repository as well.]

The existing config.mak should satisfy almost everyone...  You
can change the prefix and other vars catch the new setting
anyways.  I had forgotten that ?= acts as = (lazy value binding)
and as not := (immediate value binding).

... and refer the reader to Makefile for other things that can be
tweaked.

There are several undocumented dependencies in the .spec and in the
INSTALL files. The following is from Fedora, perhaps other RPM
distributions call the packages differently.

Also, the manpages aren't always installed gzipped.

Updates to git-core.spec.in file:
 - Some git scripts use Perl
 - gitk needs wish, which is part of TCL/Tk.
 - curl is used all over
 - Need the ssh program from openssh-clients

Updates to INSTALL:
 - Mention wish
 - Mention ssh

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch.  The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:

  (1) git-*-script are no more.  The commands installed do not
      have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
      something is implemented as a shell script or not.

  (2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
future.

Not just libcurl, but now we require curl executable as well.

As suggested by Junio

Jens was the second person who hadn't heard of the "merge" program, and
didn't have it installed.  So document as many dependency and install
issues as I can think of.
