Soon (TM) :)

Term start kept me busy, but I'll try and resume dangling topics this week or next.

It seems the consensus was that current functionality is as designed but not necessarily as expected, and another mode "--fork-base" (that does what I suggested as "fix") would meet these expectations. I would reuse the documentation of the current mode as a description of the new mode and add documentation for the existing mode ;)
