The fishy part is, of course, that I managed not to realize that the patch libifiying walk_revs_populate_todo() came *after* this patch that libified one of its callees, prepare_revs(). FWIW the same is true for sequencer_pick_revisions(), which was libified way too late in the game. This is once again a demonstration that a final patch series does *not* reflect the process of developing it: in this case, the order of the patches is the *opposite* of their development, as I libified functions from the lowest, deepest call depth up to the top-level functions.
