Oh, and I notice that since you sent your pull request, you've updated
that tag with a new commit for a fix.

That's fine, and hey, it took me a while to get to this pull request.

But I do wish you had notified me (a follow-up email just saying "hey,
that tag got updated for a fix" is fine for a small change like this,
a new pull request saying "this supercedes the previous one is
preferred for anything bigger), if only because the difference in what
I pull and what gets described makes me then go back and lok "what
exactly happened here?".
