But you do know that you don't need to apply the change *now*; you can apply it at bisect-time? Unless you expect you or your mere mortal coworkers are going to do dozens of bisects into that part of the history, I wouldn't change history *like*this*. But of course, I don't understand the circumstances enough, so... just my 2 cents.
