Jorge Bucaran 692bb22db6 Ahoy! We are getting close to 0.8.0
* Move AUTHORS -> THANKS and remove automatic generation.

THANKS is more sensible than AUTHORS. CREDITS was second best.
Also, after perusing similar files in other projects I noticed
some entries lacking a valid email address and decided fow now
this file should be curated manually to make sure each entry
contains a useful link. This allows users who have contributed
to the project ways other than committing code to be added to
the list as well.

* Rename wait -> spin.

* Remove extra padding in links. (Cosmetic)

* Update to reflect API refactorings.

* Fix bug causing brackets to show up in description.

* Implement using spin function.

* __fisher_gist_to_name uses curl to query the GitHub API which will
return a JSON stream even if the Gist could not be found. So, it's
not possible to determine whether we failed or not using our spin
function and actually need to check the returned string to see if
it contains a valid name or not.

* Let git pull write errors to stderr.

* Use new internal __fisher_spin.

* Extract spin to independent / external module and tweak Makefile
to better integrate with new install process.

fisher-config(7) -- Fisherman Configuration
===========================================
## SYNOPSIS
This document describes how to use Fisherman configuration variables.
## DESCRIPTION
Your fish user configuration, usually located in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fish/config.fish` is updated after installing Fisherman to add the global variables `$fisher_home` and `$fisher_config`.
Using the following variables, you can customize the locations of the cache, index URL, fishfile, create command aliases, etc.
## VARIABLES
* `$fisher_home`:
The home directory. If you installed Fisherman using the recommended method `curl -sL install.fisherman.sh | fish`, the location will be `$XDG_DATA_HOME/fisherman`. If you clone Fisherman and run `make` yourself, `$fisher_home` will the current working directory.
* `$fisher_config`:
The user configuration directory. This is default location of your user *fishfile*, Fisherman *key_bindings.fish* file and the *cache*, *functions*, *completions*, *conf.d* and *scripts* directories. `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fisherman` by default.
* `$fisher_file`:
This file keeps a list of what plugins you have installed and are currently enabled. `$fisher_config/fishfile` by default. See `fisher help fishfile` for details.
* `$fisher_cache`:
The cache directory. Plugins are downloaded first here and installed to `$fisher_config/functions` afterwards. The cache is `$fisher_config/cache` by default.
* `$fisher_index`:
The URL to the index database. To use a different index set this to a file or URL. Redirect URLs are currently not supported due to security and performance concerns. The underlying request and fetch mechanism is based in `curl(1)`.
* `$fisher_alias command=alias[,...] [command2=alias[,...]]`:
Use this variable to define custom aliases for fisher commands. See `Examples` below.
## EXAMPLES
* Create aliases for fisher `install` to *i*, *in* and *inst*; and for fisher `update` to *up*.
```
set fisher_alias install=i,in,inst update=up
```
