If you commit something on someone else's behalf please use the --author
argument to git-commit so that it shows up as coming from that author
in the git version history.  Or just use git-am on the patch mail which
will sort out all this by itself.

It's not a new depdency.  xfsdump depended on libhandle for a long time
(and before it did depend on dmapi IIRC).  Just to actually get dump
properly working with 64k pages you need the most uptodate version
of both packages.

I think having them split makes a lot of sense as many people don't
need dump.  What we should eventually do is to move xfs_fsr over to
xfsprogs.
