Documentation: complicate example of "man git-command"
The manual page for the command invoked as "git clone" is named git-clone(1), and similarly for the rest of the git commands. Make sure our first example of this in tutorials makes it clear that it is the first two words of a command line that make up the command's name (that is: for example, the effect of "git svn dcommit" is described in git-svn(1)).
