I've got non matching entries in diff after applying just patch 2/5,
and it's caused by missing he/iter swap in initial name resort in
insert_hist_entry_by_name function.

I understand that function goes away in your next patch while
add_hist_entry (swap ok) being the one doing initial name resort,
but still.. took me some time to figure this out ;)
