Ah, this is helpful! Yes, I was still trying to get the tests to run,
so consider this WIP.

I have since gotten them to run and found one failure which I fixed
(didn't null-check `commit`).

Waiting for them to finish again, will send new patches when done.
Sorry about that.

Thank you!

I thought I'd submit the patch early so that I could get the basic
design through review; I wasn't sure if I was using the right APIs for
this task.

I should probably write a test for this too. Looks straightforward enough.
