Please be always careful about your Subject: line.  Imagine the above
appears in the shortlog output for v1.7.8..v1.7.9 among 500 other commits;
do you expect people to be able to tell what this commit is about?

Always print the interesting ranges even if the current
commit does not change any line of it.

Please explain why it is a good thing to do so.
