Subject: [PATCH] RelNotes: remove duplicate release note
Date: Wed, 30 May 2018 20:24:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180531032414.20506-1-newren@gmail.com> (raw)

In the 2.18 cycle, directory rename detection was merged, then reverted,
then reworked in such a way to fix another prominent bug in addition to
the original problem causing it to be reverted.  When the reworked series
was merged, we ended up with two nearly duplicate release notes.  Remove
the second copy, but preserve the information about the extra bug fix.
