I think the discussion has ended at "don't do anything else", but note
that Junio and I were musing on whether to update the series around the
dir_exists() function. Which would then create headaches for you later
when you try to merge a subtly-different series that makes it upstream.

Like I said, I think we've resolved not to do anything, but I wanted to
point out a potential pitfall with this kind of "pick up a topic early"
strategy (I'm intimately familiar with this pitfall because I do it all
the time for the fork we run on our servers at GitHub).
