Yeah, that is exactly what I did before reading this message but
after reading your comments on the patches ;-)

I see what I wrote can be misread, especially due to its lack of
",instead", that I want to keep the broken one as-is, with neither
reroll nor fixup.  That is not what I meant.

 - If you choose to squash so that the resulting history after the
   series graduates to 'master' will be simpler to read (due to lack
   of "oops, that was a mistake"), I do not mind a reroll.  

 - On the other hand, as the topic has been in 'next' for some time
   and presumably people tried it in their real daily work when
   needed, keeping what is queued as-is has a value---we have a
   fixed reference point that we can go back to to compare the code
   with and without the fix.

I do not have a strong preference, but if I were asked to choose,
I'd choose the latter.

Thanks.
