Bug#23936 fix several wrong sentences in shell-command, 
shell-command-on-region
doc strings.
After pushing the fix to the master branch Noam reminds me that such
kind of fixes should go to the release branch.

Today i found another wrong sentence in same doc strings
(i didn't push the fix for this new issue).  It seems i sent email
twice to Bug#23936 due to connectivity problems. Sorry.

May i ask you what is the procedure here? What branches should get the fix?
Thank you

If it's purely fixes for documentation that describes emacs-25 behavior, 
it should go into emacs-25. That being said, we don't want to add major 
new constraints to the Emacs 25 documentation, so that we can preserve 
wiggle room for later releases.

Documentation fixes that are relevant to the behavior on emacs-25
should be pushed to emacs-25.

Thank you Eli for the answer.
The doc fixes in Bug#23936 are not relevant to the behaviour
on emacs-25; they seems not urgent at all.

Tino

Urgency is not an issue when documentation fixes are concerned.  What
matters is whether the changes make the documentation better.  Of
course, if the behavior whose description you want to improve/correct
is only available on master, then the change shouldn't be pushed to
emacs-25.

Thanks.
