The update in 33/44 to make am call into apply that is not ready to be called (e.g. the caller needs the dup(2) dance with /dev/null to be silent) gets finally corrected with this step, which makes the progress of the topic somewhat ugly and reviewing it a bit harder than necessary. As it stands, the last several patches in the series smells more like "oops, we realize these things were not done properly the first time, and here are the follow-up patches to fix them up".
I wonder if it is a good idea to delay integrating the apply machinery into "am" until it is ready?
