Heh: 
http://repo.or.cz/w/git/dscho.git?a=commitdiff;h=2546cd9732bb8d4bc1d2485ba7bbc1d5c8bac935

Except that I did not support ".." (does yours?), _and_ that my patch is 
not as nice as yours.

But then, my patch also works when save_commit_buffer == 0.  But I can 
refactor this into its own patch, since it really is a separate issue.

Ciao,
Dscho
