The fact that I received constructive feedback rather than a lecture when formatting issues slipped my mind (i.e. forgetting [PATCH v2]) is reason enough to stick around! > My understanding is that you were approaching this as a micro-project > for GSoC.

I agree with trying to push a few uncontroversial changes through. I'd love to take a deeper look at these helper functions and related cleanups…perhaps it would be worth it to identify a few key areas to work on in addition to a main GSoC project? In fact, the project I'm looking to take on (rebase --interactive) also involves code cleanup and might not take all summer, so I could see how those could work well together in a proposal. I'll be re-reading this thread and working on this patch over the weekend to try to identify the more straightforward hunks I could submit in a patch. Thanks Peff and everyone else for your help.
