[PATCH] Minor corrections to notes

From: Julian Foad <julianfoad_at_btopenworld.com>
Date: 2006-01-24 18:59:47 CET

Are these corrections correct? Particularly the first one: it seemed to me
that "the target will appear to be added" didn't make sense for "svn log"
commands that trace forwards in time.

- Julian

Minor corrections to some notes.

* notes/authz_policy.txt
  Clarify description of log tracing. Correct some example rev numbers.

* notes/svndiff
  Fix typos.
