Hm, I think that's overengineering it.  This is just bootstrap.sh we're
talking about, which is already quite a niche use case (typically, users
will use a (pre)release tarball).

Maybe it's fine as it is?  I've never heard any complaints about it.
What prompted you to come up with this patch in the first place?
