Sorry if it's unneeded to note, but just > wanted to make sure :) Yeah, that commit is more like "fix to a not-quite-right fix" rather than "cleanup", and is indeed sitting at the tip of mw/symlinks topic I still hold onto, so that it can be later merged to 'maint'. And I agree that it is necessary to merge to 6127ff6 when the topic is merged to 'maint'. The entries in the release notes are fed to the "ML" (stands for "Merge Later") script found on my 'todo' branch from its standard input to remind me of bugfix topics that need to go to 'maint', and the process should have caught it (i.e. the topic has grown and its tip no longer points at the named commit since the entry was written), but somehow I missed it. Will fix it up. Thanks for noticing.
