Subject: Update a comment. Remove confusing output to deallog that just goes to
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f082ed8f219cdda00f2aeef27d19012df9299b3c;p=dealii-svn.git

Update a comment. Remove confusing output to deallog that just goes to
/dev/null and that is duplicated to std::cout at a different location.
