Thanks.

Committed to master repo as:
http://git.exim.org/exim.git/commit/0cc9542ab26b35cba3a5523acb8991eb18ce0656

Git etiquette issue: I try to avoid spurious "merge"s in the master repo
history (not always successfully). So I end up using a git client to
pull from head, fetch the changes, then cherry-pick them, so they get a
new SHA1 identity.

Is this acceptable, having different identities for patches being
tracked for inclusion vs in the master repo, or should I learn to suck
it up and have merge commits in the master?
