Yes, this should have been part of de1e67d (list-objects: pass full
pathname to callbacks, 2016-02-11), but I missed it.

The patch itself looks fine to me (though it probably makes more sense
to point to de1e67d than the merge).

Note also that:

It makes things easier on the maintainer if you format your patch such
that "git am" can apply it directly. Use scissors like:

-- >8 --

to separate the patch from anything that should not go into the commit
message (rather than "=====..." as you have here).

Drop the "From " line which says nothing (it is an mbox separator, but
we are already inside a message).

The rest of the headers do not hurt, but are generally redundant with
what is in your email header (though in this case, the Subject is
different, so you would want to retain that).
