The issue is not limited to "forgot to stash" situation.

It is customary to explain what you changed since v1 here, after the three-dash separator, to help reviewers.

"go to"?  There are a few more.

I think I fixed this with ($other =~ /g/ && ...) when I queued your previous round to 'pu' tonight.

This is different from v1. I understand the motivation (i.e. if you are at 73rd hunk of a 100-hunk series, showing hunks 63-83 instead of starting from hunk 1-10 would be nicer), but that is something to explain as one of the "changes since v1".

I think you are inside a loop that is controlled by another $i (see the context in the hunk before this one) and it would be better to use different variable, such as $hunk_no (or just $no).

"go to"?

Again, this came too late for tonight's round. I've parked your previous one with fix-up in 'pu', but you are free to tell me to replace it (together with [1/2] from your previous round) with an updated pair.
