Without this patch, git silently overwrites work tree files, while the
documentation claims it's safe.  I was therefore expecting this to go to
master, possibly even maint.

Is there something controversial about these patches that I'm not aware of?
If so, we should at least fix the documentation in the meantime.

Cheers,
Clemens
