Hi Dave,

Here's the pull request you were waiting for. I went through all my
pending patches but only this one is applicable for net.git at this
time, so it's just a single one.

Since I didn't have a current base, I forwarded to net.git first
and re-validated the patch there, but you might might have to be
careful if you merge to not fast-fwd on your side (though, even
if you do that, I don't think it matters much).

Please pull and let me know if there's any problem.

Thanks,
johannes

I was able to fast-forward pull this, so it should be fine.

Thanks!

Great, thanks. I somehow thought that you might _not_ want the fast
forward, to preserve where the patch came from, but personally I don't
care.

Thanks for merging it so quickly!
