I actually like your version better (I like saving for loops for
honest-to-god, for-each-element-in-this-list iteration; munging the list
in the middle is something that you _should_ call attention to). I just
found your patch much harder to verify, because I had to make sure the
for/while change was equivalent. So you can blame Junio for writing it
wrong in the first place. :)

Junio, whatever you apply, please credit Linus; he beat me to the fix
and so my patch is completely cribbed from his. :)
