        * Version 5.3.1.
 
+       * src/mkdir.c (main): When make_dir_parents changes the current working
+       directory, give a diagnostic about each subsequent failure to create
+       a dot-relative directory.
+       * src/install.c (main): Likewise.
+       (install_file_in_file_parents): Update make_dir_parents caller.
+
+       * src/mkdir.c (main): Give a diagnostic for -- and skip -- each
+       relative directory name after make_dir_parents fails to restore
+       the working directory.  Before, `mkdir -p' could create directories
+       in the wrong place in unusual circumstances.
+       * tests/mkdir/p-3: New test for today's mkdir.c/mkdir-p.c bug fixes.

   "mkdir -m =+x dir" no longer ignores the umask when evaluating "+x",
   and similarly for mkfifo and mknod.
 
+  "mkdir -p /tmp/a/b dir" no longer attempts to create the `.'-relative
+  directory, dir (in /tmp/a), when, after creating /tmp/a/b, it is unable
+  to return to its initial working directory.
+
   "pr -D FORMAT" now accepts the same formats that "date +FORMAT" does.
 
 ** Improved portability
