I had not been keeping tabs on the progress of this topic, and was
surprised to see it in master already. It hadn't gotten any comments, so
I sort of assumed I would need to re-post to get interest. I don't mind,
but...

...the tip of your current master does not currently pass the test
suite[1]. I bisected the problem to "show server content on http
errors" from the above topic, but haven't figure it out past that. I
typically run "make test" before submitting, so I'm guessing it is an
interaction with another topic that graduated around the same time
(though it's also possible that I just failed to test after the last
rebase).

I'll investigate further, but it may be a few hours.

[1] I know you always test master before pushing it out, but I suspect
    you do not run the GIT_TEST_HTTPD tests. The failures are in t5541
    and t5551.
