Subject: Doc improvements.
X-Git-Tag: v6.9.89~39
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffc29e91c4ed21ff0b134ec848589b9ae87c1ce6;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

Doc improvements.

* README-hacking: Prefer the no-hyphen variant of git commands,
e.g., use "git pull" not "git-pull".
Don't presume that the only way to read this document is via a
prior git clone: provide instructions for cloning coreutils, too.

* README-hacking: Add "cd automake" in build instructions.
From Bob Proulx.
