Part of that was (obliquely) referenced in my above quote ("the fixups
I agreed to above"), and I was also going to respond to your follow up
and add a few more changes based on it.
I thought I'd be doing that while this series was still in pu, and
that this series would probably not make it into 2.24.0, but since
Junio quickly merged this down to next and says he plans to merge
down, I'm thinking right now it may make more sense to make a minimal
change to what he has merged down to get the functionality right, and
then start a new topic that addresses testcase restructuring overhauls
of t6042, t6043, and t6046 -- restructurings that we'll probably
continue to argue about but may be able to find some common ground on.
I'll respond in more detail on the testcase restructuring stuff in a
few days after I get a few other things out of the way.
