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 get - make content of annexed files available
# SYNOPSIS
git annex get `[path ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Makes the content of annexed files available in this repository. This
will involve copying them from a remote repository, or downloading them,
or transferring them from some kind of key-value store.
# OPTIONS
* `--auto`
Rather than getting all files, get only files that don't yet have
the desired number of copies, or that are preferred content of the
repository. See [[git-annex-preferred-content]](1)
* `--from=remote`
Normally git-annex will choose which remotes to get the content
from. Use this option to specify which remote to use.
Any files that are not available on the remote will be silently skipped.
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
Enables parallel download with up to the specified number of jobs
running at once. For example: `-J10`
* `--all`
Rather than specifying a filename or path to get, this option can be
used to get all available versions of all files.
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
* `--unused`
Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
* `--key=keyname`
Use this option to get a specified key.
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to get.
