This patch actually looks good to me, despites the two minor nits.

Another note is that while sending just one single update patch,
it'd be better if you could link it to the old patch, to make it
in the same email thread, otherwise, it's difficult for me to
notice that single-alone patch: it's easily get lost.

There is another option for that: the git scissors option; you could
check the git format-patch man page for more detailed info (by searching
"scissors" keyword). I'm just not quite sure Thomas like it or not.
