Comment(by koolfy):

 Added a patch for both src/config/torrc.sample.in and
 src/config/torrc.bridge.in adding those 2 lines :

 +## However, you should never include a bridge's fingerprint here, as it
 would
 +## break its concealability and potentionally reveal its IP/TCP address.

 Please let me know it I did something wrong as this is my first patch.

 @rransom
 the tor(1) man page basically says the same as the torrc and que FAQ, with
 other words, and no mention of the bridge issue either.
