So gitworkflows was added in Oct 2008. I only recently stumbled across it. Why wasn't it added to "man git", or at least "man gittutorial"? Oversight? Please fix.

[PATCH] Documentation: refer to gitworkflows(7) from tutorial and git(1)

Add references to the gitworkflows(7) manpage added in f948dd8 (Documentation: add manpage about workflows, 2008-10-19) to both gittutorial(1) and git(1), so that new users might actually discover and read it.

Noticed by Randal L. Schwartz.
