This was done in response to a specific request from the list
but I do not remember the details. If I were to research the
background I would
(1) first, look at the authordate of the commit that introduced
the change. For this, I would most likely use:
git log -p -S--no-commit -- git-pull.sh
(2) go back to the list archive and find the thread that
predates that commit by a few days.
