Normally, that'd be a bad idea, but it was benign here.

But just to make sure it's clear:  Merging from master to maint-x.y will merge
everything in master to maint-x.y.  Often one would expect master to have
changes that do not belong in maint-x.y (such as new code introducing new
strings), and a merge like this would merge those too.  Normally, one would use
cherry-pick to copy stuff selectively from master to maint-x.y.

In this case there's no harm as master had nothing that doesn't belong in
maint-2.20.
