"Fix some issues with pinch support" would be better. "Recently" is
relative and irrelevant for those who read that line. Or even better:
"pinch support: fix some issues".

If the issues are independent one from another, doing a commit for each
one with an specific subject would be the right thing.

The point of that first line is for people who read emacs-diffs or the
output of `git log --oneline' to quickly decide if they can ignore the
change or it is worth to look into.

Emacs has lots of development fronts and many consumers of the vc-log
info are unconcerned with changes to many of those areas.
