From 2c850f1221efd2441c3794e163ea3918ce31c15b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Jan=20Kr=C3=BCger?= Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:14:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: clarify information about 'ident' attribute MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The documentation spoke of the attribute being set "to" a path; this can mistakenly be interpreted as "the attribute needs to have its value set to some kind of path". This clarifies things.
