There was enough in limbo that it required a v9, and in hindsight that was a good thing, too, as I prefered to resolve the merge conflicts with Phillip's patch series myself rather than have you do it.
But I hope v9 is good enough for `master`, even if I agree that it would be safer to go through `next`.
This patch series, along with the upcoming `sequencer-and-root-commits` one, is a crucial building block for the two GSoC projects to convert rebase and rebase -i into builtins.
Ciao, Dscho
