I rechecked and didn't find any other mis-references. Some commit
limiting options mention commit formatters like "--pretty", but I deem
that to be okay without an explicit "see below".

Should I resubmit or have you squashed that in already?

Well, can be considered bugfix, but not a regression fix.

...with a little less magic suggested now (act on single no-walk rev only).

Should I resubmit with "commit:./file" only, or is that too late anyways?

I think we can drop it, it's clear we're going for ":/" or the like, and
