So this seems like a good change, but I need to make a couple of
requests:

 - Please include a changelog, even with relatively simple patches like
   this.

 - Patches should be sent as plain text, inline in the mail - not as
   attachments and *certainly* not as HTML.  Have a look at
   Documentation/process/email-clients.rst if you need some guidance on
   configuring your email setup.

Thanks,

jon
