I verified it and I can't find it either in the upstream tree anymore.
The chances I got it wrong is quite likely considering that I just have
dangerous half knowledge on how the tip tree is organized. I was under
the impression that tip/master is a merge only branch. And even if that
is the case there is plenty of possibilities using git the wrong way.

Please let me know which tree is the preferred target. The patches seem
to apply cleanly on most trees so far.
