++     [sftp.c]
++     Make sftp's libedit interface marginally multibyte aware by building up
++     the quoted string by character instead of by byte.  Prevents failures
++     when linked against a libedit built with wide character support (bz#1990).
++     "looks ok" djm

+  - (djm) [contrib/ssh-copy-id] Fix bug that could cause "rm *" to be
+    executed if mktemp failed; bz#2105 ok dtucker@
