	Run "make update-copyright".
2011-06-11	tests: inotify-rotate: avoid false positive under heavy load	Jim Meyering
	* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Increase timeout from 10s to 40s to avoid load-induced false positive.
2011-03-31	tests: inotify-rotate: avoid race condition with overloaded disk	Jim Meyering
	* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Wait 50% longer for grep to succeed. Without this change, this test would fail consistently when using "make -j25 check" with F15 in a virtio- and spinning-rust-backed virtual machine.
2011-01-01	maint: update all copyright year number ranges	Jim Meyering
	Run "make update-copyright".
2010-06-30	tests: fail rather than infloop in tail's inotify-rotate test	Jim Meyering
	* tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: Switch to new init.sh-based framework. (grep_timeout): New function. Use it in place of open-coded loops that might infloop. This was prompted by my encountering an inexplicable, and so far unreproducible, infloop in the code that was waiting for "b" to appear in "out".
2010-01-01	maint: update all FSF copyright year lists to include 2010	Jim Meyering
	Use this command: git ls-files \| grep -v COPYING \ \| xargs env UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=1 \ build-aux/update-copyright
2009-11-16	tail -F can fail to track a file after it's been rotated	Jim Meyering
	Tailing forever and by-name (--follow=name, -F), tail would sometimes fail to follow a file that had been removed via rename. If you can't apply this patch and have tail 7.6 or newer, you can work around the bug via the undocumented --disable-inotify option. * src/tail.c (tail_forever_inotify): When tailing by name (-F), do not un-watch a file upon receipt of the IN_MOVE_SELF event. Reported by Arjan Opmeer in http://bugs.debian.org/548439. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it. Also see http://marc.info/?l=coreutils-bug&m=125829031916515 * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add tail-2/inotify-rotate. * tests/tail-2/inotify-rotate: New test.
