You can use for example "git show" in your U-Boot git repository.
In worst case, you can search the CHANGELOG.

Anyway - commit 56fdaadc is:

	-> git-describe 56fdaadc
	v2009.08-rc1-1-g56fdaad

so it's the first commit after v2009.08-rc1 and thus included in
v2009.08-rc2.

If this doesn't work for you, I'd be interested in receiving a test
case, i. e. a minimal (as small as possible) file system image that
shows the erroneous behaviour.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
