When you noticed something you want to touch up in 'next' but not in
'master', please try to find which topic the target of your
touching-up comes from.

        git log --first-parent <other options> master..next

I often use --oneline for <other options>, because I am reasonably
familiar with the topics in 'next', but people may start from "git
blame" output, finding the commit that left the text you are
touching up, then where it was merged to 'next'.  That would give
you

commit 59dbd5834007c1e4dff25770da095babcb69a009
Merge: 679f992 508a285

    Merge branch 'rs/submodule-config-code-cleanup' into next
    
    Code cleanup.
    
    * rs/submodule-config-code-cleanup:
      submodule-config: use explicit empty string instead of strbuf in 
config_from()

The second parent 508a285c (submodule-config: use explicit empty
string instead of strbuf in config_from(), 2016-07-19) is a good
place to base your patch.

Thanks.
