This is not what the patch below does.

That does not seem to be a good reason to me. Run

  git grep is_dot_or_dotdot

in Git's source code to find it (or use your favorite code navigation
tool like ctags/etags/...).

This could come on top of your previous patch, but when you resend,
please sent a new patch, not a "fixup patch" like this. Git's history
should be clean, and the patch that will eventually be applied should
not reflect the trial and error iterations that led to the result.

Read about "git rebase -i" and "git commit --amend" for more information
about this.
