Oops, sorry, I just pushed it out before I saw your note.  I'll add it
as a follow-on commit right away.  Fortunately we don't do too much
debugging on BE machines, so it's probably not worth breaking the git
rules and rewinding, even though it's highly unlikely anyone has done
a git pull in the last 10 minutes or so.

While we're at it, I should have noticed this earler before I acceptd
patch 2 in your series.  Could you also send a follow up patch which
adds a quick description of the fname_encoding feature to the ext4.5
man page?

Also, did your v2 patch series to e2fsprogs reflect any of the
comments I made late last night on the rest of the v1 patch series?

Thanks, regards,
