[PATCH 3/4] doc: glossary: link four of the terms to gitdatamodel(7)

[email protected]
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.git
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Kristoffer Haugsbakk <[email protected]>

Four of the terms in the glossary are discussed in gitdatamodel(7).
Let’s link to the data model page from the glossary.

The phrasing needs to be tweaked based on what gitdatamodel(7) offers
for each term compared to the glossary, or even other pages (see the
git-reflog(1) mention). For instance, the ref/reference discussion can
be called a “see also” since the glossary here already goes into
detail. On the other hand, gitdatamodel(7) offers more details on
the subject of “the index”.

Let’s also add gitdatamodel(7) to See Also. It is at least as relevant
as the other tutorial pages that are already mentioned.
