Author: jilles Date: Fri Nov 12 14:40:20 2010 New Revision: 215181 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/215181 Log: sh(1): Modernize the introduction a bit. In particular, remove the text about ksh-like features, which are usually taken for granted nowadays. The original Bourne shell is fading away and for most users our /bin/sh is one of the most minimalistic they know.
