From 738820a913d05427b6c86d227aafd2bac7cd38d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 01:10:28 -0800 Subject: Documentation: describe --thin more accurately The description for --thin was misleading and downright wrong. Correct it with some inspiration from the description of index-pack's --fix-thin and some background information from Nicolas Pitre .
