I was looking at discussions that are older than a month whose
patches are not near 'next', and found this patch, which we haven't
seen any comments or updates on the discussion thread.

It does not seem nobody, other than the original poster, for obvious
reasons, was enthused by the topic, and given that the exchange on
"what happens post Git 3.0?", I am not sure how badly we want to
keep this topic.
