Just pushed out the stack log stuff to kha/safe. It really should
be ready for wider use at this point, and it was getting tiresome
to keep rebasing it.

Great work, I merged (most of) it. Many thanks.

Thanks.

One patch is still in experimental -- it depends on a new git
feature that isn't in any release yet.

I skipped this one for now.

I was talking about kha/experimental~0 here; you're talking about
kha/safe~0, which is kha/experimental~1. But never mind.

I'm using Ubuntu (Hardy) and the git version is 1.5.4.3. I would
wait until we get at least a stable git release with this feature.

I'm using it too, but I always build my own git, so I never know what
version the system comes with ... but I see your point. I'll put that
patch back in kha/experimental for now.

I haven't looked in detail but can we have a way to drop back to the
old implementation if the option isn't available?

I guess in this case we could, since if the option exists, we can use
it. (The second patch is not so lucky; the flag exists since quite a
while, but lacks a feature in older gits.)

Since it's just a moderate speed-up in both cases, I'm kind of
inclined to just wait for relevant distributions to catch up, and
avoid all the hassle.
