Dan McGee 5162e69732 Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgit
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock
Asciidoc configuration:

 # Inline macros.
 # Backslash prefix required for escape processing.
 # (?s) re flag for line spanning.

 (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3
 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]]

This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this
case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline
macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being
matched by the wrong regex.

git-cat-file(1)
===============
NAME
----
git-cat-file - Provide content or type/size information for repository objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-cat-file' [-t | -s | -e | -p | <type>] <object>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Provides content or type of objects in the repository. The type
is required unless '-t' or '-p' is used to find the object type,
or '-s' is used to find the object size.
OPTIONS
-------
<object>::
The name of the object to show.
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
-t::
Instead of the content, show the object type identified by
<object>.
-s::
Instead of the content, show the object size identified by
<object>.
-e::
Suppress all output; instead exit with zero status if <object>
exists and is a valid object.
-p::
Pretty-print the contents of <object> based on its type.
<type>::
Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking
for a type that can trivially be dereferenced from the given
<object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it,
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that
points at it.
OUTPUT
------
If '-t' is specified, one of the <type>.
If '-s' is specified, the size of the <object> in bytes.
If '-e' is specified, no output.
If '-p' is specified, the contents of <object> are pretty-printed.
Otherwise the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will
be returned.
