In particular, do you have any local changes in > etc/NEWS* files, or renamed/deleted some of them? Before seeing this email I have done git fsck and anything to reset it. Before that I was doing patch of Stefen for text scaling the tabulated-list-mode. As I have done patch incorrectly or maybe repeated it first time, this happened. Problem is probably not related to that patch. I have git clone --depth 1 the latest git and built Emacs again. Now is all fine and working, closing this bug.
