After reviewing my own patches, I flipped again (Sorry!) and would
rather not see my patches be merged, but the very original solution
by you, that you proposed at [1]. That said, I will not insist on it, and
if this is merged as is, we can fix it up later.

With that said, I just read through the remaining patches, I think
they are a valuable addition to Git and could be merged as-is.
