I think what Peter complains about is that with just PATCH 03/14
applied, the Git download method no longer works properly as it leaves
the repo in $(DL_DIR).

The fact that this problem may or may not get solved by a later patch
in the series is more-or-less irrelevant here: Peter is just saying
that the series is not perfectly bisectable, and he stopped reviewing
when he saw an issue in PATCH 03/14.
