Hmm, I guess I should have posted it that way for ease of review, but
didn't think of it. You can sort-of look at the patch as
git show --color-moved=zebra
and you'll see the lines that are moved unchanged marked with one color,
and the ones that are edited in a different color. It's a bit of a
weird Christmas tree at this point, but if you look at it hard enough
you can tell the unchanged ones apart.

I had looked at the coverage of this file earlier today, and I agree
that we have pretty decent coverage -- although it's one of the two
worst-covered files in that subdirectory, the lines that aren't covered
are mostly a few error messages. It might be a good idea to add some
tests for those anyway, to ensure we don't break anything later.

Thanks!
