The 'SubmittingPatches' document contains a small inconsistency in a patch-email sending procedure.
Not a big thing, but a newcomer could get confused.
Please, also consider adding the definition/explanation for all the branches available at the beginning of this document (and maybe even what their names stand for). Thanks.

At line 213 there was an instruction: "re-send it with "To:" set to the maintainer [*1*] and "cc:" the list [*2*]"
and this instruction got repeated once more in the document (line 340): "Send it to the list and cc the maintainer."
This inconsistency was solved by editing the second occurance. --- Documentation/SubmittingPatches | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
