Don't waste your time. I'm using this feature since years. It's
available in these three commits:

https://github.com/j6t/git/commit/55276690b2bc6a
https://github.com/j6t/git/commit/f12b294b68b595
https://github.com/j6t/git/commit/00860615691604

Thanks go to Bert Wesarg. The patches are also available in this thread:
