In general I prefer to change to "yesterday" since changing to today
always leaves the possibility that a change made later will confound
you (after all, "today" is not yet over).  But the risk of this is
small.

But go ahead.   I think you should also apply the idcache.h patch to
4.2.x if you're winding this far forward on gnulib version.
