I wonder why my comment in the patch went unheeded:

Honestly, I found it quite daunting to try to track down all of the
indirect callers of sanitary_path_copy and ensure that they would
continue to work if I changed the behavior of a function that does not
document what it is supposed to do.  Frankly, it would be easier for me
to just keep rebasing my patches and apply them to my local builds.
