We are using 2.6 releases and would like to see 2.6.5. One related issue, pre-commit is not working for 2.6 (see comment from Allen https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-10653?focusedCommentId=15388621&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15388621). Should we fix for the purpose of the release?
