Given the single way that print_line_middle() is called in the source code, it's implicit that this is about --only-matching and --color, and we know what it is these options do. A patch to this function can only be about that. Already, mentioning print_line_middle() covers this and the ChangeLog entry is not there to redundantly document the existing source code. Taking this into account before reading any further beyond the first ":", the existing comment is IMO sufficient. > 2. With "--only-matching" or "--color", don't display or color empty > matches. (Behaviour change.) They were not displayed or colorized before, so there is no change in behavior there. This unchanged behavior may differ from expected behavior, but that's an eye-of-the-beholder issue and what's unchanged doesn't belong in a _change_ log. The ChangeLog entry does mention that these GNU extensions were otherwise unspecified and that was the real problem. Who's to say what's a bug or a feature before they are, then?
