These commits still exist in uqs's latest prototype conversion, with hashes:
953b4a972bec
8efdfe5ee821
6d7144acee3e

So they cause the same issues for git subtree; we need the Tom
Clarkson patch set to make this work. I will try to see if we can do
an initial bootstrapping with patched git subtree and do subsequent
updates with upstream git - that would at least eliminate the urgency.
