Remove the introduction: I think it should be obvious why
we have this. (And if it isn't obvious then we've got other

Replace reference to git whatchanged by git log.
Miscellaneous style and grammar fixes.

Everyday GIT With 20 Commands Or So
===================================
-GIT suite has over 100 commands, and the manual page for each of
-them discusses what the command does and how it is used in
-detail, but until you know what command should be used in order
-to achieve what you want to do, you cannot tell which manual
-page to look at, and if you know that already you do not need
-the manual.

-Does that mean you need to know all of them before you can use
-git? Not at all. Depending on the role you play, the set of
-commands you need to know is slightly different, but in any case
-what you need to learn is far smaller than the full set of
-commands to carry out your day-to-day work. This document is to
-serve as a cheat-sheet and a set of pointers for people playing
-various roles.
