git: moving the docs breaks links in the howto indexes

[Jeremy Henty]

The BLFS instructions for git rearrange many of the documentation files. Unfortunately this breaks the links in the HOWTO index files. The attachment has some sed commands that fix the HOWTO indexes so that the links work again.

Sed commands to fix the HOWTO indexes

You don't need to use an attachment for something so short.

sed -i '/^<a href=/s|howto/|howto/html/|' /usr/share/doc/git-2.13.1/howto-index.html
sed -i '/^\* link:/s|howto/|howto/html/|' /usr/share/doc/git-2.13.1/howto-index.txt

These can be shortened up a little with:

sed -i '/^<a href=/s|howto/|&html/|' /usr/share/doc/git-2.13.1/howto-index.html
sed -i '/^\* link:/s|howto/|&text/|' /usr/share/doc/git-2.13.1/howto-index.txt

Note that the links in the txt file should point to text, not html.
