[... and much nice explanation ...]

Would you mind including this explanation as a new file with some name
like <Documentation/howto/using-first-parent.txt>?  I think the quoted

tweaks to make to it, which is why I am simply suggesting this instead
of sending a patch that would repeat the same text.
