Subject: [PATCH 6.4 11/13] docs: Set minimal gtags / GNU GLOBAL version to 6.6.5
Date: Mon,  3 Jul 2023 20:54:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230703184519.600586054@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230703184519.261119397@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwi@linutronix.de>

commit b230235b386589d8f0d631b1c77a95ca79bb0732 upstream.

Kernel build now uses the gtags "-C (--directory)" option, available
since GNU GLOBAL v6.6.5.  Update the documentation accordingly.
