That was before that additional contribution.

Anyway, I asked RMS, and he said we can accept this patch, since most
of your substantial contribution in the past is now superseded.  So I
installed your patch, and I'm closing the bug.

Thanks!

Recipe:
Insert text in a buffer:

abc
def
ghi

Position the mark before the 'a' and point before the 'g'.
Do 'M-x reverse-region'.

An error is signalled, 'There are no full lines in the region'.

See #39376.
