Hi Chris,

Thank you for helping to fix typos.

See http://wiki.qt.io/Branch_Guidelines (Note: Qt module repositories
don't have a "master" branch)

Right now, the branches that accept documentation fixes are:

* 5.8 (stable branch)
* 5.9 (next release branch)
* dev (development branch)

Simply put, patches will merge from the top of the list to the bottom
of this list. For example, patches that go into "5.8" will eventually
be merged into "5.9", which in turn will eventually be merged into
"dev".

Typo fixes are not new features or major/risky changes, so they can go
into the stable branch ("5.8").


Regards,
Sze-Howe
