Curiously enough, Junio himself posted a patch. Perhaps given his state
as of then he forgot to fix Git as well. ;-)

I did not write this patch. One fellow IRCer did, but for personal
reasons he does not wish to disclose his realname. I think the patch is
trivial enough that copyright problems should not be a issue.
