* Fix chapter reference in CodingStyleJesper Juhl2007-05-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | commit 226a6b84aaaf1fac7a5d41cf4e7387fd9ba895d5 renumbered Chapter 11 in Documentation/CodingStyle to Chapter 12, but it didn't update the reference to that chapter further down in the file. This patch corrects the chapter reference.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
