+ * The set of included header files in compat/inet-{ntop,pton}

+ * rpmbuild noticed an unpackaged but installed *.mo file and failed.

  * Subprocesses spawned from various git programs were often left running
    to completion even when the top-level process was killed.
 
+ * "git add -e" learned not to show a diff for an otherwise unmodified
+   submodule that only has uncommitted local changes in the patch
+   prepared by for the user to edit.
+
+ * Typo in "git branch --edit-description my-tpoic" was not diagnosed.
+
  * Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not
