The 'const' patch will be queued separately, and a synthetic base will
be prepared for your two-patch series by merging the 'const' patch on
a recent tip of master.
Unless you have other changes, there is no need for you to send a
three-patch series. We do not need to take the 'const' patch hostage
to the 'pathspec' patch.
Thanks.
