| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Updates to the Git Workflow section based on feedback from Darren Hart. These changes simplify the flow and make it generic. * Updates to the lttng user space tool used from within Eclipse. The legacy version of the tool is no longer supported so it had to be edited out of the description and replaced with the 2.0 version.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feedback from Paul Eggleton suggested to not use the linked term "Source Directory" in the last paragraph of this section. Reasoning being that it is mis-leading in this case. People reading this will be thinking more along the lines of traditional source code rather than our establishe "Source Directory" term, which in the doc set refers to either the unpacked poky tarball or the cloned poky Git repository.
