Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately we're really close to a Physics-3  
release which already bit rots some of this. I'll take a look at your  
patch in a future cycle and see if the behaviour still makes sense for  
us (I worry that this is a non standard/expected behaviour, but do  
like the intent).

FWIW, for future patches it's a much smoother ride if you use the  
Gitorious "clone repository" feature, that way everyone involved will  
know you're working on something, and can easily view and keep up with  
changes.
