As these clash with the entry rework which I have, I'd much prefer
them to be in patch form rather than git form so I don't have to keep
remembering to fix the (broken) git rerere merge.  git rerere is fine
if you get it right first time but if not, then it keeps doing it wrong
each and every time.
