Nobody replied, so I've pushed those.

Note that the 2nd change makes it so there is no longer an explicitly
version-controlled ChangeLog file.  Now, it is generated automatically
from the git commit log messages, so please be sure to write your
git commit log messages in the usual git+ChangeLog form:
(described in http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/plain/HACKING)

The existing ChangeLog file was renamed to ChangeLog-2009,
and all new entries will be automatically included in the
ChangeLog file that is inserted into the tarball at "make dist" time.
