Antoine Beaupré 21ec5872f4 expand manpages cross-references significantly
i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex
manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through.

i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references
between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should
be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would
become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added
(git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind).

i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in
the metadata pages so far.

i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although
some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were
added there as well.

# NAME
git-annex reinit - initialize repository, reusing old UUID
# SYNOPSIS
git annex reinit `uuid|description`
# DESCRIPTION
Normally, initializing a repository generates a new, unique identifier
(UUID) for that repository. Occasionally it may be useful to reuse a
UUID -- for example, if a repository got deleted, and you're
setting it back up.
Use this with caution; it can be confusing to have two existing
repositories with the same UUID. Also, you will probably want to run
a fsck.
