This is one reason I prefer to use the following changelog style

* Thu Jan 28 2010 Michael Schwendt <mschwendt at fedoraproject.org>
- 2.2-10
- Fix tuple_copy() further (it was completely broken as the mowgli
  dict wasn't copied at all).
- 2.2-9
- Let set_tuple_cb() work on a copied tuple
  (the metadata updates flood is too racy IMO).
- Fix tuple_copy().
