Nit: This is stale now, isn't it?

But what I really wanted to mention here: Something's odd with how you
sent this series. I received 0, 1, and 3 as one thread, 2 and 5 as
another one, and 4 entirely standalone. The list archive [1] has all of
2, 4, and 5 as standalone mails.

Another thing I wanted to ask: Would it be possible to configure
whatever mail client you use for sending patches to send plain ASCII or
UTF-8 text, not quoted-printable ones? At least for me, so far having
shoveled in most of your patches, that encoding gets in the way of
running a pre-apply-test with plain "patch --dry-run -F0" on all
patches (from a script I use for committing). I can help myself with
plain "git am", but sooner or later some patch will end up having a
collision with something else having gone in, and then I'll need to
manually clean up after the failed / incomplete command.
