This is the case. I wondered if I want to point to the exact commit
(which I have trouble pointing to as the whole topic has no memory
leak fixes, Closest would be d88f9fdf8b2 (replace-object: move
replace_map to object store, 2018-04-11))
or rather just point at the series. I did not think of the confusion
that might arise there.

Ah, that is the best place to point at. Makes sense.
I'll reroll this,
Thanks,
