[PATCH 0/3] [doc] Remove gittutorial-2

From

Message-ID
<pull.2241.git.1790627122.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

This patch series removes gittutorial-2 and all references to it, leaving a stub behind to help out any users who might be looking for this documentation.

The goal is to remove obsolete documentation and make it easier to improve our tutorial material in the future.

I tested that the docs are staying internally consistent by running git grep tutorial-2 and making sure that the only remaining references are in the Makefiles, the document itself, and some example output in user-manual.adoc which isn't relevant to the actual manual.

Here's a pointer to a past discussion:
