Amusingly enough, you and I independently installed exactly the same 
code patch, byte-for-byte, nearly simultaneously. There is no difference 
between commits 4ba2946369cb19dfeb258839add0658c742c12a1 and 
10cfb736e2d32bd2604dc93a979ce136473b5944, and Git silently merged the 
two when you merged your commit into master. I don't know whether to 
worry about our duplicative work or to re-tell the famous war story 
about Ritchie and Thompson; see, for example, page 4 of:

McIlroy MD. Remarks for Japan Prize award ceremony for Dennis Ritchie.
