Here's version three of my patches to make 'git help everyday' work.
It's taken awhile. Previous patches at [1] and [2].

Junio has provided guidance on modernisation of the text, which has been integrated into patch 1.

Patch 2 regularises the OBSOLETE_HTML method in the make file, in line with the currently queued version on pu.

Finally patch 3 swaps over the everyday.txt to the giteveryday.txt accessible through the regular help system, and changes over all the links.

This follows from :
