You're absolutely right, and "typo" specifically refers to a typographical

error in written content—this patch is a correction to a comment, so using

"typo" is perfectly appropriate.


I might be misinterpreting the wording here – what I really want is to tell

exactly what a patch modifies from the subject alone, without having to

check the patch content. Maybe "correct comment" is a better fit. I know

I'm splitting hairs a bit, but I couldn't just stay silent after receiving your

patch, right?


Thanks,
