.. and if by "slightly", you mean "a lot", then yes.

Patch looks fine to me. I didn't look at the code logic very closely, but I suspect that it's actually hard to get the right answer with broken code, and the logic doesn't look broken. So Ack.

The filter-branch thing should probably be taught about this at least as an option. I think it was Johannes Sixt that worried about that one. Added to cc.
