Thanks for explanation.

If I am reading the above correctly, a sequence that does not have 10/13 before the patch that makes match_heads() called repeatedly would break bisection, so it cannot be "can be moved anywhere".

And it sounds like keeping this as a separate patch would make more sense. Your proposed commit log message for the patch would contain the first paragraph I quoted above, I'd think.
