For the record, you could do a

	git cherry-pick -Xsubtree=git-gui 00ddc9d13c 7560f547e6

to bring them over instead of manually recreating the changes yourself.
Personally, I'd prefer the cherry-picked commits as it'd preserve
authorship information but I'm not sure how Junio feels.

From a correctness perspective, however, I compared my results after
doing that with yours and it's identical.
