It is svn after all, not a released product.  To find exactly what was
changed, look at the messages in lfs-book.  Every commit message starts
with a r????.  For instance, r7368 - branches/udev_update/BOOK.  If you
look at the message contents, every commit has a Log: section at the
top.  For r7368, the log says:

Log: Correct name of Linux UTF8 patch

In this case, the date wasn't updated and there is no changelog entry.
The change is just too trivial for that.
