Argh. Looking at this again, it seems clear to me now that I should've put Jeff's series at the beginning, followed by my refactoring (6-10), followed by the rest of my patches, so that all the refactoring is early.

And I forgot that I'd done patch #5 (better handling of multiple remote HEADs) a few days after 1-4. As part of this re-roll I should've redone 1-4 to include #5's functionality.

I also noticed I'm passing an argument to get_head_names() that it never uses. But fixing that touches at least 3 of the patches.

All of this is my way of saying ignore what I've emailed tonight till I can clean it up a bit more.

I apologize to the list for the spam.

When I have the series really ready, would you prefer I setup a repo for you to pull from? I'm loath to spam the list with another 24 messages.
