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 init - initialize git-annex
# SYNOPSIS
git annex init `[description]`
# DESCRIPTION
Until a repository (or one of its remotes) has been initialized,
git-annex will refuse to operate on it, to avoid accidentally
using it in a repository that was not intended to have an annex.
It's useful, but not mandatory, to initialize each new clone
of a repository with its own description. If you don't provide one,
one will be generated using the username, hostname and the path.
