If it's ready for master, I'd love to see it merged. Either that or
topic is rebased on 'master'. There are separate checkout changes in
'master' (mine, sadly), and because switch/restore moves lots of code
around, I need to create a merge of this topic and master as the base,
or you'll get horrible conflicts.

I should send switch/restore again soon. There are still a few
unaddressed concerns for git-restore since last time. Probably time to
refresh those discussions.
