You're right. I thought I took it already but very likely I was too
busy to spend time figuring what the original issue was and redoing
it with a proper commit message :-/
Radek, please have a look at CONTRIBUTING and make sure that your
commit message explains what the problem was, what solution you
decided on and why it's supposedly the best. Also any hint about
the suitability for backporting to stable branches would be welcome.
Thanks,
Willy
