Eric,
Would love to contribute more to git! I'm in the middle of a major product launch, so I can do this next week. Of course no hard feelings will be had if someone else wants to do it. I'm making myself a calendar invite to remind myself right now.
I'll ping y'all in a week hopefully with a patch.
thank you,
-Alfred
