[PATCH] doc: move git-rev-parse from porcelain to plumbing

[Daniels Umanovskis]

git-rev-parse mostly seems like plumbing, and is more usd in
scripts than in regular use. Online it's often mentioned as
a plumbing command. Nonetheless it's listed under porcelain
interrogators in `man git`. It seems appropriate to formally
move git-rev-parse to plumbing interrogators.

Correct.  "ancillary" category ended up with full of Porcelain, it
seems, but there still are plumbing commands there, and this is a
prime example that should not be mixed up with Porcelain commands.

Among the remaining ones in the list, cherry and get-tar-commit-id
are probably better classified as plumbing.  I do not know why
cherry is marked for completion; perhaps some crazy people use that
on the command line?

I think cherry could go either way, get-tar-commit-id is definitely
plumbing. Would you like me to fix those two on the same patch then?

No, what you sent for rev-parse is already good.  A separate patch
that addresses other ones can be discussed as an orthogonal matter.
It even may deserve to make them two separate patches, as I
anticipate that some people would resist marking "cherry" as
plumbing, so that only one can be applied while dropping the other
as/if needed.

Thanks.
