I have a strong suspicion that the narrow stuff will make the worktree 
mess pale in comparison.

Note that I do not have time to review this myself (which is not helped at 
all by it being no longer a trivial single patch, but a full 10 patches!), 
but I really have a bad feeling about this.  IMO it is substantially 
under-reviewed.

Ciao,
