This made it through to me, but not the list. There are at least two
things going on:

  1. The message is 172K, which is over the 100K limit imposed by vger;
     the list is silently dropping it.

  2. In my case, the direct mail was being flagged by spam because it
     contains the blacklisted domain "old.name". Which of course is not
     a domain at all but rather this code:

       old.name = old.path + strlen("refs/heads/");

     I've tweaked my server.

I can't say why it wasn't getting to Junio via direct mail. Maybe the
same spam thing, or maybe something else.

I skimmed the patch and didn't notice any problems. It's
whitespace-damaged by gmail, of course. The simplest thing is probably
to just point us at a public repo with the commit, if you have one.
