Hi Andreas,

thanks for the review.
I pushed it in your name [1] - well, the "Co-authored-by:" reflects
the collaboration, and changing it around would just be a (little)
risk to mess it up - and there's laziness. ;-)

Thank you! Docs are nicely in sync.

I think you did more (and better) work on this. (From: Berny [...] perhaps "suggested by ametzler") would reflect reality better. Feel free to push under your or my name.

Thanks for the report and the suggested patch.

The formatting for the Texinfo changes were not ideal
(e.g. it is better to use a "@quotation" environment for
a warning block.

Also "Because -delete implies @samp{-delete}, ..." was obviously wrong.

I tried further to improve and unify the -delete description
in the attached git patch.
Okay to push in your name?

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny

Hello,

this was originally reported as https://bugs.debian.org/1003339 by Chris Davies. He noted that the manpage says "Delete files;" but info has "Delete files or directories".

Looking at both I found there are multiple differences with no good reason (manpage is not more terse). I have tried to come up with a merged unified version. - Patch attached.
