My point is that if you are going to repost a patch that has known
problems, it is worth saying so to give reviewers and the maintainer a
realistic idea of how stable it is.

I also didn't have a reproduction recipe. I found the commit I sent by
just re-running every merge in git.git in a loop.

It sounds like you have a smaller reproduction and maybe a fix, which is
good.
