You could apply that patch and test it out. Perhaps you could address Junio's concern or reignite some interest from the original author.
The patch works fine here and solves my issue. Hopefully it can be made part of the distribution.
Tracking other (intermediate) copies would be a plus but I have absolutely no time to work on git as I am trying to use VCS to reduce my workload, not to increase it :)
