I do recall discouraging you from including irrelevant rant/whine in the log message a few times in the recent past, and also I do recall you never listening to me. Don't make me an excuse. I think what Jonathan finds helpful is the other half of the story of what you did write in [1/1]. You wrote that it is no longer a shell script and needs to follow a separate calling convention. What was missing from that description that was given in [0/1] is why the original "rebase-in-c" series was done while pretending that the other effort "rebase-i-in-c" did not even exist, which made it necessary to do this change as a separate step. And I tend to agree that it _is_ a relevant story in this case.
