 ## [Unreleased]
+### Fixed
+* If you executed `gradlew spotlessCheck` multiple times within a single second (hard in practice, easy for a unit test) you could sometimes get an erroneous failure message.  Fixed in [#671](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/pull/671).
 
 ## [5.1.2] - 2020-08-21
