Subject: [PATCH] correctly name the Shell sort
To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

As per http://www.nist.gov/dads/HTML/shellsort.html, this should be referred to
as a Shell sort. Shell-Metzner is a misnomer.
