I was tripped up by the fact that it is not indicated anywhere in

terse note explaining the situation.
If there's anything wrong with or otherwise objectionable about
this, don't hesitate to let me know; I'll either fix it if I can or
attempt to explain why I don't think it's a problem.
Thanks.
I've applied it.
A ChangeLog entry would have been nice.
Sorry about that - the project I spend most of my open-source-related
time on does not keep a per-commit Changelog, so the thought didn't
occur to me.
