[PATCH] gnus-group-clear-data in gnus.texi

[Colin Marquardt]

Hi,

since I got bitten by having renumbered articles suddenly, here is a
small patch for the docs.

I noted that gnus-cache-move-cache was not documented in gnus.texi at
all, so I added that too.

BTW, WIBNI there was a gnus-cache-move-cache-for-current-group or
something like that, to go with gnus-group-clear-data?

Thanks for the patch; I've applied it to Oort Gnus v0.05 (i. e., CVS).
