+ * configure.in (ALL_LINGUAS): Add Slovak (sk).

+ * src/tail.c (recheck): Use assert instead of unnecessary close_fd.
+ Remove a couple unnecessary FIXME comments.

+ * src/tail.c (struct File_spec) [tailable]: Rename from `missing' and
+ document. Change all uses and locals like was_missing to was_tailable.
+ Invert expressions as appropriate.
+ (reopen_inaccessible_files): Rename from allow_missing.
+ (sleep_interval): Describe.
+ (--allow-missing): Deprecate.
+ (--retry): New option, equivalent to --allow-missing.
+ (usage): Document name vs. descriptor differences.
+ Refer to manual for descriptions of --max-unchanged-stats=N
+ and --max-consecutive-size-changes=N.
+ (valid_file_spec): New function.
+ (recheck): Assert valid_file_spec.
+ Remove dead else-if block (suggestion from Eli Zaretskii).
+ Adjust stmts that set f->tailable -- unlike for `missing', tailable
+ doesn't depend on errno == ENOENT.
+ (parse_options): Give a warning if --retry is used when not following
+ by name.

+ * src/tail.c (struct File_spec): New member, errnum.
+ (recheck): Record the new value of errno in f->errnum. Don't
+ output an error message unless the new value of errno differs from
+ the old one. Output a message if previously-inaccessible file
+ becomes accessible.
+ (tail_forever): Always recheck files whose fd is negative. If the
+ file cannot be fstat'ed, record the errno value in f[i].errnum.
+ (tail_file): If the file cannot be open, record the errno value in
+ f->errnum. If it can be opened, initialize f->errnum to zero. If
+ it's a non-regular non-fifo file, initialize f->errnum to -1.
