Fix SVG in <img> tags not scaling in IE9, IE10, IE11

IE9, IE10, and IE11 don't properly scale SVG files added with img tags when viewBox, width and height attributes are specified. View this codepen on the different browsers.

Image heights will not scale when the images are inside containers narrower than image widths. This can be resolved in 2 ways.

Use sed in bash to remove width and height attributes in SVG files

As per this answer on Stackoverflow, the issue can be resolved by removing just the width and height attributes.

Merge Wiki Changes From A Forked Github Repo

This is inspired (or basically copied) from How To Merge Github Wiki Changes From One Repository To Another, by Roman Ivanov, and serves to ensure that should something happen to the original article, the information remains nice and safe here.

Terminology

OREPO: original repo - the repo created or maintained by the owner

FREPO: the forked repo that presumably has updates to its wiki, not yet on the OREPO
