I am not sure why there is a stray blank. The patch certainly did not
touch the W line.

The reason for the repost is me being unclear how the process works
now that we are using git. I am used to sending 'git pull' (in which
case it does not matter whether the patch had been applied already or is still
in my tree), but the mercurial process favored applying each patch by hand.

Hence I sent this out as a hybrid - patches for those that prefer applying it
by hand and 'git pull' in case a whole-sale 'git pull' is done.

But it is unclear to me whether anybody except Ian Jackson is doing the git pull
and who is actually responsible for putting the patches in - especially as some
of these cross multiple boundaries between maintainers.

And whether some maintainers prefer git pulls or just plain old regular patches.

 Ian J - git pull
 Ian C, Jan - plain old patches.
