  Thanks!!  Nice to see that the patch is going forward.  And I have to
  admit that it was very fun to make that patch.

  How long is the 'merge window' in Linux Kernel terms for this round
  (to the next release of GIT)?

  I have a second idea to an improvement, which also looks quite good
  for the moment, and I am sort of wondering how fast I must work.  :-)
