Subject: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: Remove diff tool examples
Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2011 00:11:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316383901-17580-1-git-send-email-srabbelier@gmail.com> (raw)
Since Cogito is long deprecated, it is somewhat awkward to leave it
as example. Removing Cogito leaves just git and StGit, which is a
rather incomplete list of git diff tools available. Sidestep the
problem of deciding what tools to mention by not mentioning any.

This uses the subject Ramkumar suggested. Since the subject no
longer references Cogito, I've added a reference to the reason
for this removal as the first line of the description.
