Ah, good catch.  Your series came first, is longer, and is reviewed
other than the submodule/config stuff that needs someone more familiar
with that area than me.  Since my patch needs more work anyway, how
about I rebase my patch on top of your work, and make sure to ping you
as a reviewer to make sure I don't mess anything up?

Thanks,
Elijah
