Thank you. Could you provide an appropriate commit message and use "git
format-patch" to send your patch? See
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html for details.

Also, note that Texinfo expects sentences to end with two spaces.

> -(@pxref{Column view}).

certain properties (@pxref{Column attributes}).

The last sentence is only true when the summary function expects
numbers.
