Unfortunately this does not apply to the broken commit or 'master' or anywhere else, it seems (no such blob as 93e855271b9 found at the path).

It is better to make it applicable at least to 'master'. Making it also apply to 'maint' is optional, I would say, as the bug it fixes is not so critical.

Thanks.
