The text was:

  as far as back its records go

This commit transposes "as" and "back", so that the
text now reads as follows:

  as far back as the buffer's records go.

Note, too, that the word "its" has been replaced with the
word "buffer's", which I believe makes the meaning of the
sentence more explicit.

   The @dfn{undo} command reverses recent changes in the buffer's text.
 Each buffer records changes individually, and the undo command always
 applies to the current buffer.  You can undo all the changes in a
-buffer for as far as back its records go.  Usually, each editing
+buffer for as far back as the buffer's records go.  Usually, each editing
 command makes a separate entry in the undo records, but some commands
 such as @code{query-replace} divide their changes into multiple
 entries for flexibility in undoing.  Consecutive character insertion
