doc: update tail's documentation to allow for new -F semantics2009-12-31T08:42:52ZJim Meyeringmeyering@redhat.com2009-12-30T13:23:45Zurn:sha1:f428e548e52d76a5ed729a2cba9a05f93dad40d9
* src/tail.c (usage): Reword tail -F description, so that it no
longer mentions details specific to the non-inotify implementation.
Also, join diagnostic strings (while staying under the 509-byte limit)
to ease formatting of translations. The latter was prompted by
a report from Stéphane Raimbault.
* doc/coreutils.texi (tail invocation): Update description here, too.

* doc/coreutils.texi (sort invocation): Reference the additional
info about filevercmp rather than the unused strverscmp.
(Details about version sort): Add some examples that are not
handled well by fileversmp.
* src/ls.c: Change a comment referencing the now unused strverscmp.
