I've done the messiest, I guess ;-) * revert merge of the part-3 topic and Dscho's cmake fix out of 'next'. * rebase part-3 on top of the more recent 'master'. * squash in the two hunks (including setup.c change) from you into the "setup: adopt shared init-db & clone code" step. * squash in Dscho's cmake fix into "cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header" step. The result is not in 'next' yet until I hear something from those who have been involved in the topic, including Elijah and Dscho. Thanks.
