In this case the problem is that the existing code had no tests, so I wasn't quite sure what it was supposed to do, and I divined the wrong thing from it.

Who let the original code in w/o tests, hmm? :-) j. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
