I'm re-sending this patch from 2013 because I do think it provides value
and we might want to make it the default.

I take it you didn't investigate the segfault I mentioned.

I don't know how I was supposed to investigate the few segfaults you
mentioned. All you said is that you never tracked the bug.

My point is that if you are going to repost a patch that has known
problems, it is worth saying so to give reviewers and the maintainer a
realistic idea of how stable it is.

I also didn't have a reproduction recipe. I found the commit I sent by
just re-running every merge in git.git in a loop.

It sounds like you have a smaller reproduction and maybe a fix, which is
good.
