After having this much discussion, it is preferrable to have a patch
relative to what you have in 'next' (2910bf5) as a fix-up, explaining "The
initial version does not cover these cases / has these problems" to
summarize the discussion so far, followed by explanation of the
incremental change "Fix this and that by doing ...".

We could revert what is in 'next' and start from scratch, but then it is
likely that the thought process will be lost when you write the log
message.
