Initial cleanup of Browbeat documentation
All this commit does is move the contents from the README.rst file
into the various subfiles within the tox documentation source folder
so that things render cleanly and with a proper table of contents.

I've resisted the urge to start copy editing, adjusting content,
fixing spacing, titles, etc. All changes should be a simple copy/pasta
from the README to the various subfiles.

I did add some minor content to the README.rst so that it wasn't
just a blank file for those who land there via GitHub or a git
clone.

Contributing
============
Contributions are most welcome! You must first create a
Launchpad account and `follow the instructions here <http://docs.openstack.org/infra/manual/developers.html#account-setup>`_
to get started as a new OpenStack contributor.
Once you've signed the contributor license agreement and read through
the above documentation, add your public SSH key under the 'SSH Public Keys'
section of review.openstack.org_.
.. _review.openstack.org: https://review.openstack.org/#/settings/
You can view your public key using:
::
$ cat ~/.ssh/id_*.pub
Set your username and email for review.openstack.org:
::
$ git config --global user.email "example@example.com"
$ git config --global user.name "example"
$ git config --global --add gitreview.username "example"
Next, Clone the github repository:
::
$ git clone https://github.com/openstack/browbeat.git
You need to have git-review in order to be able to submit patches using
the gerrit code review system. You can install it using:
::
$ sudo yum install git-review
To set up your cloned repository to work with OpenStack Gerrit
::
$ git review -s
It's useful to create a branch to do your work, name it something
related to the change you'd like to introduce.
::
$ cd browbeat
$ git branch my_special_enhancement
$ git checkout !$
Make your changes and then commit them using the instructions
below.
::
$ git add /path/to/files/changed
$ git commit
Use a descriptive commit title followed by an empty space.
You should type a small justification of what you are
changing and why.
Now you're ready to submit your changes for review:
::
$ git review
If you want to make another patchset from the same commit you can
use the amend feature after further modification and saving.
::
$ git add /path/to/files/changed
$ git commit --amend
$ git review
If you want to submit a new patchset from a different location
(perhaps on a different machine or computer for example) you can
clone the Browbeat repo again (if it doesn't already exist) and then
use git review against your unique Change-ID:
::
$ git review -d Change-Id
Change-Id is the change id number as seen in Gerrit and will be
generated after your first successful submission.
The above command downloads your patch onto a separate branch. You might
need to rebase your local branch with remote master before running it to
avoid merge conflicts when you resubmit the edited patch. To avoid this
go back to a "safe" commit using:
::
$ git reset --hard commit-number
Then,
::
$ git fetch origin
::
$ git rebase origin/master
Make the changes on the branch that was setup by using the git review -d
(the name of the branch is along the lines of
review/username/branch_name/patchsetnumber).
Add the files to git and commit your changes using,
::
$ git commit --amend
You can edit your commit message as well in the prompt shown upon
executing above command.
Finally, push the patch for review using,
::
$ git review
