Before this patch the README suggested to look at "Documentation/gittutorial.txt" for the tutorial and to use "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. This was not consistent because the tutorial can also be available with "man gittutorial" if git is installed, and the documentation for each command can be available at "Documentation/git-commandname.txt" if git is not installed. So this patch tries to be more consistent and also fix the path to the cvs-migration documentation that changed from "Documentation/cvs-migration.txt" to "Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt".
