Yeah, so there's one bug left now, which I haven't tracked down.

Should have done that, but I'll hold off on a re-roll for such a minor
cosmetic issue since I see Junio's merged it down to "next" already. The
dash.git hash is noted in the commit message, so it's not a practical
problem to find the commit, but yeah, would be nice if were a clickable
link.
