That's somewhat up to James.  *He* would be the person doing the merge, not
me.  I'm changing the lines in my patches also.

That depends on how you define "better".  Better for what?  I think it's
better to absorb the changes into my patch series.  StGIT is very good for
handling this, since my patches are currently maintained as an StGIT set.
That way, there ends up one fewer commit in the history, assuming no other
collisions with what James merges.
