This is a general question about documentation patches:

Do you mind if people submit _very_ minimal patches for the docs that fix only some typing errors or the like? I, personally, am a friend of correct spelling and such and when I discover such errors I prefer to have them fixed.

OTOH, I really don't want to bother you with such patches that don't bring forward the "real Git" and only marginally contribute to Git itself. I know that all of you have better things to do than adding a punctuation mark somewhere or checking a patch that does it.
