First off, I really appreciate having your input and help on all this, really. And I didn't mean to cause frustration.

As for whether your code looks good, I've found it to be better than the stuff I've come up with.

Sorry about not being more clear about that, and giving "ok"'s etc. I think the improvements you've made are great, and if you're willing to re-submit a better version of the series that would be even better (depending on the status of the current one wrt Junio etc).

My apprehensiveness about adding extra things and fixing up the series has really been about one thing, and one thing only. Which is that I don't often have time to spend on git.git anymore, and haven't submitted the series since October of last year.

I was hoping that I could get it into a form that would be acceptable for fast-tracking. I.e. I could make a tiny patch at the tip of the series, prove that it was OK, then the other 50 C/Shell etc. patches could get in quickly.

Anyway, with the timeline Junio has in mind *that* probably won't be possible. I'm rapidly approaching a time where I again won't have time for Git.

But just getting this in would be great, I can submit more stuff later when I have time, and it'll be less to juggle at once since there'll already be something in git.git:master.

And if someone else wants to pick it up and shepard it along that would be fantastic as well.
