Ahh, I see, nothing was moved over from the Cutting Edge chapter.
This chapter has just about the exact same purpose as the new Updating
chapter, they just describe different tools. The first chapter
Updating, even references the latter chapter (Cutting Edge) as a
pre-requisite in the synopsis by saying one needs to read it to learn
about Mergemaster.
There should only be one updating chapter. Cutting Edge was there
first, but updating is maybe a better name.
How do you feel about merging them back into one chapter?

Everything else looks good, except I don't like that we now have two
chapters for updating instead of one. I wasn't paying attention when
that happened. =) Maybe just submit the new item for auditing while
we sort out what to do about updating?
