That's the one I was talking about: it includes changes that aren't
needed to fix the original bug.  Those additions make the change
cleaner, but we are way past cleanup time on the release branch.

The changes in subr-x and in ediff are unnecessary.  Let's make
changes only in gnus-summary-browse-url, OK?  The full changeset can
go to master.

Btw, this part of the commit log is inaccurate:

  * lisp/vc/ediff-init.el
  (ediff-truncate-string-left): Rename to 'string-truncate-left'.

And this one names the wrong function:

  * lisp/vc/ediff-mult.el (ediff-meta-insert-file-info1) (ediff-draw-dir-diffs):
  'ediff-draw-dir-diffs' renamed to 'string-truncate-left'.

And finally, the format of the last entry is slightly off the mark.
It should look like this:

  * lisp/vc/ediff-mult.el (ediff-meta-insert-file-info1)
  (ediff-draw-dir-diffs):

That is, the second parentheses pair should be on a new line.
