I think it would be good if you resubmit the patch.  These rules tend
to be applied quite strictly, as you can also see when looking at the
git commit history.  So with the updated commit message Junio should
just be able to pick it up (unless there's something I missed here as
well :))

As a side note, I just noticed the two submissions both had [PATCH] in
the title, whereas new submissions should be marked as such using
[PATCH v2] etc. as prefix, so it's easier for reviewers to know which
version is the newer one.
