Cool, so I'll add the following if that's okay:

Okay!  Well, what you've done here has pretty much worked, but there's a
couple of things that were a little unusual:

- When I apply a patch with git am, it expects to find the commit
  message at the start of the email.  So usually, when you're sending v2
  of a patch, you repeat the message from v1, because that's usually
  what makes sense to be recorded in the commit log.  If you want to
  include stuff like you did here, describing what's changed in this
  version of the patch, you can include that after the "---" (above the
  diffstat), and it won't become part of the commit message.

- Often people indicate which version of a patch they're sending using
  the subject, like "[PATCH v2] Add and clarify Matrix workarounds".

Thanks for your patch!  I appreciate it -- I know it's not easy getting
up to speed with a new workflow.
