I haven't read these patches carefully myself, but if you need further updates to this topic, you may want to rebase on a slightly newer commit that already has "git refs exists". Either 07f29476de (i.e. the merge of that topic to 'master'), or 92c87bdc40 (the batch that contains that merge) would work fine.

I can keep resolving the conflicts between this and the other topic just fine, but I'd rather see you tested and proofread these patches yourself in the context of the codebase that these changes will eventually be used with.

Thanks.
