[PATCH 4/7] Documentation: sort sources for gitman.texi

From
brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
Date
Jan 21, 2017, 21:59 UTC
Message-ID
<20170121215912.246691-5-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
In-Reply-To
<20170121215912.246691-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

Sorting the sources makes it easier to compare the output using diff. In addition, it aids groups creating reproducible builds, as the order of the files is no longer dependent on the file system or other irrelevant factors.
