Hi Paul,
Thanks for the update and the follow-up. When resubmitting please
indicate patch revisions in the subject, e.g. [PATCH v2], [PATCH v3], etc.
so it is clear which one is the most recent.

Good, I'll commit your change on your behalf then.

Please provide a change description then. As the submitter you are in
the best position to write one. I may come up with something myself, but
this will take my time, delaying processing, and whatever I end up with
may not be accurate.
In that description please explain why you are making your change and, if
necessary (use your own judgement, e.g. explain any code you think the
reviewer may question), what were the key design and implementation
decisions. This is a general guidance, applying to any changes submitted.
