Documentation Bug 630652 created to install Guide update for Other Assets

Hi Geert,

> Since the target of discussion here is changes to the gnucash

> of the
> gnucash-docs module.
> 
> To make a patch I let subversion do most of the work for me. Since
> we're
> working in a local working copy, subversion already keeps track of
> changes we
> make. It's just a matter of letting subversion output those changes in
> a nice
> patch format. The svn diff command is suitable for that. However, for
> the
> patch to be useful this command should be executed within a larger
> context.

After a couple days away from email I am rereading your most recent set of instructions.  Truly, these are
Right on the money for me and my write-up for the wiki.  All your comments are pertinent to what I am doing
And I intend to incorporate them into the wiki write-up. 

[As an aside and a matter of good form, whenever assembling ideas from emails Others have written, is it not 
correct that attribution for the content be given in the wiki write-up? Would this be done only in a general 
way, or is it correct and better to provide attribution by each quote?]

Also, thanks much for the references to svnbook.red-bean.com.  I was unfamiliar with this website.  It's 
Information is key to working effectively and accurately with svn.
