Subject: [PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ebe8b54134314cc31331f6e26f42276cd947d1df;p=deliverable%2Flinux.git

[PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort

As per http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/shellsort.html, this should be
referred to as a Shell sort.  Shell-Metzner is a misnomer.
