[PATCH 4/9] Documentation: say "the same" instead of "equal"

From: Jonathan Nieder <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:29
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

When non-mathematical objects are declared equal in documentation,
this is a sign that perhaps the discussion is becoming too
technical or exact.  Use "same" instead if no other nuance is
required.
