It's in the same place: branch 'new-lstat' at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/git.git new-lstat
and I'll continue to maintain it if only because it's what I use myself
(until I just switch to 'next' or something).
I'll find time to replace lt/in-core-index branch that is
currently in 'pu' with it, hopefully sometime tonight. Mine has
these two idiotic stuff you commented on.
