From 4740d2e8bcf72cc92bae72762ccae904015b9b2f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:38:32 -0500 Subject: Remove some lingering tsocks cruft. Now the manpages no longer refer to tsocks or tsocks.conf, and we no longer have or ship a tor-tsocks.conf. The only remaining instances of "tsocks" in our repository are old ChangeLog and ReleaseNotes entries, and the torify script saying that it doesn't support tsocks.
