POSIX says that ‘echo FOO’ produces implementation-defined output
if FOO contains leading ‘-’, or ‘\’ anywhere, so don’t assume GNU
behavior in that case.
* Makefile.in (removenullpaths): Remove.
(epaths-force): Rewrite to avoid the need for ‘echo’.
(install-etc): Be clearer about escaping the shell metacharacters
‘\’ and ‘$’.
* Makefile.in (install-arch-indep, install-etcdoc):
* admin/charsets/mapconv, admin/merge-gnulib, admin/merge-pkg-config:
* admin/quick-install-emacs, build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog:
* configure.ac, lib-src/rcs2log, make-dist:
* src/Makefile.in (lisp.mk):
Don’t assume ‘echo’ outputs ‘\’ and leading ‘-’ unscathed.
For example, use ‘printf '%s\n' "$foo"’ rather than ‘echo "$foo"’
if $foo can contain arbitrary characters.
* lisp/Makefile.in (TAGS): Use ‘ls’, not ‘echo’, to avoid ‘\’ issues.
* doc/lispref/two-volume.make (vol1.pdf):
* test/etags/make-src/Makefile (web ftp publish):
Use ‘printf’ rather than ‘echo -e’.

This incorporates:
2015-09-25 c-ctype: rewrite to use inline functions
2015-09-24 maint: add coding cookies to non-ASCII sources
2015-09-24 gitlog-to-changelog: trim only trailing whitespaces
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog, doc/misc/texinfo.tex:
* lib/acl-internal.c, lib/acl-internal.h, lib/c-ctype.c:
* lib/c-ctype.h, lib/get-permissions.c, lib/qcopy-acl.c:
* lib/set-permissions.c:
Copy from gnulib.

* build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog: Ignore commit logs matching
"Merge remote-tracking branch '.*'" too.  See Eli Zaretskii in:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-08/msg00384.html

This incorporates:
2015-07-04 file-has-acl, acl-permissions: fix HP-UX typos
2015-07-03 set-permissions.c: adjust acl_from_mode's cpp guard
2015-07-02 update-copyright: fix test failure with perl >= 5.22
2015-07-01 gnulib-common.m4: change the ARFLAGS default to 'cr'
2015-07-01 acl: fix definition of acl_from_mode on FreeBSD
* build-aux/update-copyright, doc/misc/texinfo.tex, lib/acl-internal.h:
* lib/set-permissions.c, m4/gnulib-common.m4: Copy from gnulib.

; * ChangeLog.2: Related fixes.

* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Handle gitmerge.el skipped commits.

* admin/gitmerge.el (gitmerge-commit-message):
Exclude "skipped" messages from ChangeLog once again.

; * ChangLog.2: Related fixes.

That way, 'make change-history' needs to change only ChangeLog.2,
instead of having to change two files.
* ChangeLog.2: Add commit info for range that this file covers.
* Makefile.in (new_commit_regexp): New macro.
(change-history-nocommit): Simplify, by putting what used to be
the gen_origin value into the data (ChangeLog.2) rather than
into the program (gitlog-to-emacslog).
* build-aux/gitlog-to-emacslog (gen_origin): Calculate from
the input file (e.g., ChangeLog.2) rather than by having a
constant in the program.  Substitute it into the output.
