MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in GitGitGadget section
The "Sending Patches via GitGitGadget" section mentions that the PR title and description will be used as the cover letter, but does not explain what is a cover letter or what should be included in it. Refer readers to the new "The cover letter" section added in a previous commit. Signed-off-by: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
