I think by that time I'd applied v1 and fixed those issues myself (same as his
variant, modulo slightly different names).

*blink*

What Link: thing? You mean lkml.kernel.org references to original postings?
Or is it something else? Never done that, actually; any tips re tools needed
for that? Normally it's save a bunch of postings into a local file in mutt,
scp it over to development box, then git am -s - either all at once, or step
by step with ediiting and git commit --amend in between...

I realize that message-id can be picked and massaged into Link: ... form,
of course, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it's already done by
somebody...
