Ouch, now I see your point!  You were referring to the copy of the comment
in `tap-no-spurious.test', not in the ChangeLog entry!  *facepalm*

Then I think you're right.  What about this squash-in?

  diff --git a/tests/tap-no-spurious.test b/tests/tap-no-spurious.test
  index bb64d2e..c2d5bc5 100755

Thanks, and sorry for the noise,
