[PATCH] SubmittingPatches: Remove diff tool examples

Sverre Rabbelier· Sep 18, 2011, 22:11 UTC · lore

Since Cogito is long deprecated, it is somewhat awkward to leave it as example. Removing Cogito leaves just git and StGit, which is a rather incomplete list of git diff tools available. Sidestep the problem of deciding what tools to mention by not mentioning any.

  This uses the subject Ramkumar suggested. Since the subject no
  longer references Cogito, I've added a reference to the reason
  for this removal as the first line of the description.
