I've never understood the use of "ls-files -i" without -o, so in that
sense, I have done 2. myself already long time ago.

In other words, I do not really care that much, and the choice would be
between "0. do not do anything---the patch in question was a bugfix for
longstanding insanity" and your "4. -i without -o didn't make much sense
but now it does and here is the new meaning".

OK, I think the patch I sent elsewhere in the thread should be applied,
then, as it should make you, me, and Klaus happy.

Thanks; will queue on top of b5227d8.
