I propose this patch on top of Adam's v5. Also included is a full patch
against master.

Unrelated: when changing from unified to context format, I saw
filterdiff fail to produce a complete patch, skipping some hunks in its
output. My first impression was that I had dropped some hunks in git,
so I wasted some time comparing v5 and v6 by hand before remembering
that Michael Paquier had mentioned this problem previously.
