[PATCH] fix some doc typos and grammar

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[This is my first patch, which I'm trying via cut-and-paste into
gmail, which I realize sucks.  Any ideas for a better way?  Is anyone
sending patches via gmail+pop?  I gave up my previous shell/email
provider because they just weren't keeping the spam down.  Any
suggestions for something that works?  --Mike]

suggest user manual mention .gitignore
