Why that? The former is valid, and it is used everywhere in the Makefiles.
And we should touch the release branch only for essential changes, so
close to the release.
Best regards, Michael.

See https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24949#6: "long options

It's not essential, but it's an obviously safe documentation fix.

I see. Maybe you could add the bug number to the commit message, next
time? This would avoid this kind of comment, perhaps.

I know. I'm writing software for decades, and I've managed several times
to damage a release with "it's just a one-line patch, I cannot make it
wrong". Therefore, I'm extremely conservative with last minute
changes. And I still believe your patch could have waited for opening
the release branch for Emacs 26.1.50.
Best regards, Michael.
