Forget about it. I didn't really endorse removing the enum names
because I thought they were harmless and had some documentation value.
But the value was very minimal... Let's not revert anything. Let's
just move forward.
You're over apologizing. No one is upset with you if your patch doesn't
apply. Greg just deletes it and moves on. No one invests any time into
trying to figure out what happened.
Now that Greg has applied whatever can apply he has deleted all the rest
of your patches. Just rebase and resend.
