Line rewrapping makes it hard to see what actually got changed, but does this only move "(up to the top-level of the work tree)" around without anything else, as discussed? If you do "toplevel" -> "top-level" while at it, perhaps we would want to correct "work tree" -> "working tree". Looking better. Thanks.
