(I'm wondering how that commit can appear at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal whereas it is not integrated in GDAL trunk.

A ticket with the elements and links you provided above, and potentially a svn diff (with the new files added), and with only the changes in ogr/ogrsf_frmts/sosi/, would be a start. A test file for the new geometry types could also be useful. > > Since geometry type 5 is a curved geometry, which was not supported by GDAL > OGR at that time, the commit above interpolates the curve to a line > feature. Maybe better to generate a curved OGR geometry instead of a line? Yeah, that would be a better match, but getting the linearized geometries would be already a good start.
