I got rid of that code about two weeks ago.

The upcoming rebase -i -p series is unfortunately not in a good shape at 
the moment; intermediate stages fail the tests, so I will have to clean up 
a bit.

But at the moment, real world is taking my time, reducing my Git time 
budget substantially.  On the positive side (well, half of it), I 
fiddle with msysGit these days, as have to use Windows again.
