Ben, Logan, since you're looking at the resource code, maybe you'd be
interested in this as well?

Thanks for rebasing these.

They do apply cleanly, but they seem to be base64-encoded MIME
attachments, and I don't know how to make mutt extract them easily.  I
had to save each patch attachment individually, apply it, insert the
commit log manually, etc.

Is there any chance you could send the next series as plain-text
patches?  That would be a lot easier for me.
