Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: Fix remaining typoes "persistant", "existance".
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 07:21:31 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.11.1407010719440.25792@localhost> (raw)
Fix a couple typoes that occur only in Documentation/ or in comments,
so no functional change.
