Re: [PATCH 4/2] Fix parent rewriting in --early-output

This solves the problem quite naturally, because any tree that hasn't been 
parsed - or even if it *has* been parsed, but just hasn't gone through 
the compare function - will then always be seen as "different" and thus 
interesting.

This fairly straight-forward patch seems to work. It *replaces* the 
pervious "patch 4/2", and yes, Junio, I think you were very right to 
complain about that one.

How does this one feel?

I think this is very natural and I like it.

I did not complain but just said I was puzzled, but after
thinking about this a bit I probably should have ;-).
