Hello,
A recent change added a stub "git-log-fix" file to gnulib:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=ce457d622d947d8aa3e325d98a2818d097e7fec9
But, it might have an unintended consequences:
When updating "gnulib" submodule in a project, it overrides the project's
"git-log-fix".
It can be demonstrated with GNU Hello, but probably represents a bigger issue
with coreutils.

$ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hello.git
$ cd hello/

# This is GNU Hello's version of "git-log-fix".
