You're right about "branch" vs. "pull".  I'll better go back to bed. ~_~

"trivial simplification" is too generic; we could have lots of them.  A 
summary should describe the change.  Its low complexity can be derived 
from it -- using an existing variable a bit more is not very exciting.

But I wouldn't call that patch trivial because its correctness depends 
on code outside of its shown context.

The reason for the patch isn't mentioned explicitly.  Perhaps it should 
be.  I felt that using something that's already there instead of 
recreating it is motivation alone.
