Thanks for the patch - I see this is a downstream patch in Fedora since
several years.

I changed the Subject line to conform to our 'commit-msg' hook:

  md5sum,b2sum,sha*sum: --help: add note about binary/text mode

and pushed at:

  https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=ae61b10663

Have a nice day,
Berny
