I'll take a stab at it.

doc/emacs/anti.texi: 

  The command no longer allows the display of diffs between a file and
  its auto-save file.

etc/NEWS: 

  This lets the user customize different switches...

etc/NEWS.29:

  *** Users can commit a subset of changes in a diffs buffer.

  This function provides a way to modify some or all of the settings of an
  existing connection-local profile.

  Specifying a cons as the FROM argument causes the measurement of text
  to start from a specified amount of pixels above or below a position.

lib/cdefs.h:

  ISO C99 lets you declare arrays...

lisp/tab-bar.el:

  A button in the window allows for the restoration of the killed
  buffer.

lisp/vc/vc-git.el:

  When this variable is nil, and the log ends with a rename, a button
  below the rename allows for the display of the log for the file name
  before the rename."

Given Eli's comment about changes related to gnulib, I won't suggest
anything for gnulib-common.m4.

HTH,
