Thanks for confirming.

I see 296b847c0d in the message you are responding to (by the way,
do not top-post to this list).  

Let's check it together.

	$ git log master..296b847c0d
	$ git merge-base master 296b847c0d
        296b847c0d6de63353e236cfbf94163d24155529

Yup, it already is in master.  

Using a third-party script "when-merged" [*1*], we can easily find
that it was merged a few days ago to 'master', after cooking in
'next' for a handful of weeks:

	$ git when-merged 296b847c0d next
	refs/heads/next 3ea70d01afc6305b88d33b8585f1fc41c486a182
	$ git when-merged 296b847c0d master
	refs/heads/master d984592043aec3c9f5b1955560a133896ca115b5
	$ git show -s --format='%cI' 3ea70d01af d984592043 
        2016-12-05T11:38:03-08:00
        2017-01-10T15:24:25-08:00

Unless people find regressions caused by this change (in which case
we may have to revert it), this will be included in the release at
the end of this cycle.  http://tinyurl.com/gitCal tells us that the
current cycle is expected to complete early February.
