OK, and it was good that you explicitly said "with exit code 0" in the log message. Together with the idea to update the doc I floated earlier, this probably is worth documenting, too. >> I think the earlier request asked for 'pause' (I didn't dig the list >> archive very carefully, though), > > No need to: I mentioned it in the cover letter.

I knew what message in the immediate past triggered this patch and that wasn't what I "could have dug for but didn't". "The earlier request" I meant was another one I recall that was made long time ago---that was what I "could have dug for but didn't". > Good initial version.

It is likely that I'll either forget or will continue to be too busy to pick textual pieces and assemble together myself, so I'll leave it as a left over bit for somebody reading from the sideline to send in a finished version if they care deeply enough ;-) Thanks.
