As the main tutorial is being rewritten from scratch, and it seems
to assume that nobody has ever heard of gittutorial-2 ;-), the above
patch would not merge well when both topics meet in 'seen'.
I do not think this topic to remove tutorial-2 would need further
rework, but just in case if it ever becomes necessary, could you
leave the changes out of this series? I can remember to take the
other side and ignore the changes to the file done on this branch,
but not having to remember one such thing helps quite a lot when you
have to deal with 100+ merges to rebuild 'seen' on top of 'master',
with updated topics of the day.
Thanks.
