I see that the recent gnulib updates didn't sync the files which
are physically copied from there (rather than symlinking):

  $ cp gnulib/doc/COPYINGv3 COPYING \
    && cp gnulib/build-aux/bootstrap bootstrap \
    && cp gnulib/tests/init.sh tests/init.sh

  $ git status | grep modified:
        modified:   COPYING
        modified:   tests/init.sh

I think we should take over both changes - which is done in the attached.

At least regarding the changes in 'tests/init.sh':
do you think the timing is too bad to be included in 8.31?

Thanks & have a nice day,
Berny
