From 4318f9bb736c9874204b5c94c825f0c57bed78d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Levy Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2019 14:37:56 +1300 Subject: docs: remove spaces from shell variable assignment The instructions for generating patches are given as shell commands with variables as placeholders. They use the syntax "SRCTREE= linux", which is wrong for the Bourne shell family (it runs the command "linux" with the variable "SRCTREE" set to the empty string). Remove the spaces to avoid confusion. This breaks the pretty alignment but helps new contributors who try to run the commands as written.
