I noticed you dropped the Fixes tag from the patches that fix bugs which
predate git. While this is probably not much of an issue in this case, I
think it's generally a bad idea since we're loosing information this
way, and this specifically makes it harder for the stable maintainers to
figure out which tree to backport a fix to.
