Thank you for working on this! and sorry for the delay. The patchset on the whole looks good and no problem was detected so far at my end. Some comments below and inline. - Ideally it's better also for "tree" command to support the maple tree like "tree -t maple", is it possible? It's ok at all to do this later, but the maple tree looks too complicated to me to be supported fully by the tree command.. If it looks possible, it might be better to have some preparation at this point. - Please fix the compilation warnings with "make clean ; make warn".
