Soon (TM) :)

Term start kept me busy, but I'll try and resume dangling topics this
week or next.

It seems the consensus was that current functionality is as designed but
not necessarily as expected, and another mode "--fork-base" (that does
what I suggested as "fix") would meet these expectations. I would reuse
the documentation of the current mode as a description of the new mode
and add documentation for the existing mode ;)
