Event Timeline

A few textual corrections, nothing major.

I would stop the sentence after the {PREFIX}, to have less commas in a sentence (I love using commas myself, but the sentences get too long and difficult). Having smaller sentences helps to understand the two cases here.

87

You would use "on the other hand" only if you previously wrote "on the one hand". I would replace it with "In the other case".

here, I would just use "however" instead of "on the other hand".

A small nit, then it's perfect.

It's "In the other case", not "On the other case".

88

Here, I would not stop the sentence, just remove the commas and the sentence stop after the </filename>.

The full sentence should read:

In the other case, if one or both of the paths are outside of <filename>${PREFIX}</filename> use <command>${LN} -s</command> and only prepend <filename>${STAGEDIR}</filename> to the target's path.
