Oops - good spot.

Fixed in the generated ChangeLog during 'make dist' with the attached patch.
Unfortunately, the git history can't be changed.

Have a nice day,
Berny

Dear Bernhard,

Unfortunately this commit references this bug report by a completely wrong URL:

It refers to https://bugs.gnu.org/?57291 (which redirects to and just shows GNU's debbugs start pageā€”and GNU's debbugs doesn't have that many bug reports yet), but correct would have been https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57291

Could you please at least correct the URL in the according changelog entry so that people don't have to search for the correct URL via some search engine like I had to?

Thanks for the report.
I agree that the additional blank is disturbing.  The attached patch fixes it.

@James: do you agree?

$ echo a b c|xargs --verbose -n 1 2>&1|cat -e
echo a $
a$
echo b $
b$
echo c $
c$

Did the user submit 'a '? No. He submitted just 'a', so there should be no trailing blank.
