Your script is disgusting, and I will not quote it for posterity for
that reason. I will just say that git has a "path exclusion" thing
that you can use to make it much more streamlined.

And I ended up going a bit further, and just got rid of it all in
commit 736706bee329 ("get rid of legacy 'get_ds()' function")
