That would be a problem... Sadly I doubt I'll have time to develop a
solution into subtree's overall design before the end of June. As that
eventual change would probably involve altering the inclusions of this
fix, and that users have a workaround in adding either squashed commits
or referencing lightweight tags, would you rather drop the patch and
wait for that?
