That would make a bit of a mess of the various pull requests, so I'd rather not.
I should however get on with sending that fixes one given I wrote the signed tag message
last weekend but haven't sent it to greg yet.

It's fine to apply that patch locally for your dev branch then send the other patches
with a note in the cover letter to say that it's a prerequisite.
