Administrivia: do you mind if I bounce these messages to some archived
list, either git@vger.kernel.org or git-security?  Or if we'd prefer
to avoid the noise from that, do you mind if I work with Eric Wong to
get them injected in the https://public-inbox.org/ archive?

I agree with Peff's assessment.  I'd also like to emphasize that
upstream is happy to see an [FYI/PATCH] when you have a divergence,
which would provide a thread to reply to to figure out whether there's
some generalization that is suitable for upstream.  (For example,
maybe we want some Makefile knob to allow setting some baked-in
attributes.)

Thanks,
