Yeah, that behavior is quite old.  I'm surprised that Linux ever did

I don't feel strongly either way.  I feel confident the rest of Git
doesn't use that field, so I don't see any downsides to keeping it other
than the slight overhead of populating it.  I just thought I'd ask in
case there was something important I was missing.

OK, I'd consider that this part of the review settled for taking the
patch as-is.  Let's mark the topic for merging to 'next' soonish in
the what's cooking report.

Thanks.
