I need to rant here a bit.

Sometimes people say "Here is my patch.  If this is accepted, I'll add
documentation and tests".  My reaction is, "Don't you, as the person who
proposes that change, believe in your patch deeply enough yourself to be
willing to perfect it, to make it suitable for consumption by the
general public, whether it is included in my tree or not?  A change that
even you do not believe in deeply enough probably to perfect would not
benefit the general public, so thanks but no thanks, I'll pass."

As you can seen from my other message, I'm *actually* not sure this is
really material for git as a VCS. I will add documentation unrelated to
--nosort to pack-objects anyways.
