The change will go live the next time the web repository is exported to the
web site.  I'm not sure how often that happens, I'd expect minuted to hours.

I also applied the attached patch to the README file.  That won't be useful to
anybody much until the next source release though (if people can see that
content already it's because they already know how to use git to access the
findutils code).
