Well caught.

I confess. I manually reverted those two changes and missed the third. 30 lashes.

Perhaps a more palatable change, here and in the other two places: s/seeked/cg-seek'd/, i.e.,

- * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on seeked tree" error message.
+ * "git bisect" showed mysterious "won't bisect on cg-seek'd tree" error message.

Then, if someone does this again, it will be more obvious that it is not a typo.

If you like that, I'll gladly redo the patch accordingly.
