Hmm, not sure what's going on.  Maybe I misinterpreted why `git am` was failing?
I assumed it was because there were objects in kvmarm that I didn't have locally,
and fetching kvmarm allowed am to complete, though with 3-way merges, which IIUC
shouldn't have been necessary if I was using the exact same base.  Or maybe I
messed up and didn't actually reset to 6.5-rc1.

Either way, even if this is PEBKAC on my end, using --base would be nice, e.g.
then you can definitely say it's my fault ;-)
