+ Make chgrp and chown diagnostics consistent.
+ * src/chown.c (main): Emit the diagnostic before the file name,
+ not after it, to be consistent with chgrp's diagnostic.
+ * src/chgrp.c (parse_group): Emit a ":" between the diagnostic
+ and the file name.
+ Reported by Egmont Koblinger.
+ * THANKS: Add Egmont Koblinger.
