Thank you! Apart from the single typo I stumbled over (quite honestly, I do not really care about typos, I just point them out when I see them to beat Eric to it), I have just one more wish: I would *love* to see a Travis run. Surely you opened a PR at https://github.com/git/git. Oh wait, I can look for it! But no, there does not seem to be one. So probably in your fork, https://github.com/szeder/git. No PRs. Ah, but there are branches! 60 of them. And yes, I guess I found a Travis build: https://travis-ci.org/szeder/git/builds/480654256 But no, the associated branch does not look like it reflects this patch series...
