[PATCH] typofix: fix spelling mistakes in comments and test description

[Hardik Kumar]

Fix spelling errors in the following places:

versioncmp.c:           "fractionnal" -> "fractional"
git-gui/git-gui.sh:     "occurence"   -> "occurrence"
t/t0022-crlf-rename.sh: "similiarity" -> "similarity"

git-gui comes from a separate project and a different rule applies
to patches in that area.  See Documentation/SubmittingPatches for
details, but the consequences to the rule are:

 - Any patch to git-gui (or gitk) would not be a patch against a path
   inside git-gui/ (or gitk-git/) directory.

 - A patch message to git-gui (or gitk) would not contain any
   patches to other parts of the system.

Thank you I had skipped over that.

I had sent another patch with the "versioncmp" prefix which only edits
the core files to fix the typos.

Thanks.
