Well, I don't know what to do about the commit message (the harshest
measure would be to revert the patch, then add it back with the proper
commit message, i.e. "patch 8.0.1366 -- balloon shows when cursor is
in WinBar"; but that might be a little overdoing it, and anyway it
ought to be done on the git master) but wouldn't it be possible at
least to define a tag "v8.0.1366" pointing to this patch? Then when
the _real_ patch 8.0.1367 gets added, setting the tag "v8.0.1367" to
it in the usual manner will "move that tag away" from patch 1366.
According to what it does in src/version.c, the current so-called
"patch 8.0.1367" is actually patch 8.0.1366 after all, and that's also
how it appears at http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/8.0/ , both in
the README text and in the patch filename.

Best regards,
Tony.
