That's great, thank you.

I fatfingered my author address in patch 2, so if someone wails that the
author S-o-b is missing and your tree isn't set in stone yet, something like:

	git filter-branch -f --env-filter 'if test "$GIT_AUTHOR_NAME" = "Uwe Kleine-König (The Capable Hub)"; then GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=u.kleine-koenig@xxxxxxxxxxxx; fi' next/master..

should fix it. Sorry!

Best regards
Uwe
