Is this ready for 'next' otherwise? I saw that in pu, thanks for squashing.

I'll try to find my balance again. When working on too few topics at the same time, sometimes I get stalled waiting for the mailing list (or internal reviewers) to respond, so I start many topics, which then overwhelm me after a while once reviews catch up. In this specific case it was not clear what the best way is, i.e. the interest was rather broad: "Hey I have this blob sha1, how do I get more information?", which can be solved in many different ways, so I tried some of them. (Another alternative just now considered: I could have wrapped that script from stackoverflow into a new command and called it a day, though that has very poor benefits for the rest of ecosystem, an addition to an established powerful command gives more benefits IMHO) Thanks, Stefan
