23 +This is "third-time-lucky, perhaps?" resurrection. I do not think I'd be
24 +using this very often, but it originated from a real user request.
25
31 -Need to clean up the log message, perhaps rebase it to maint-1.6.0 and
32 -start cooking in 'next'.

51 +This was my lunchtime "this may fix it" response to a breakage report. I

66 -replace these but I haven't yet (the "clone into empty" can and should
