Line rewrapping makes it hard to see what actually got changed, but
does this only move "(up to the top-level of the work tree)" around
without anything else, as discussed?

If you do "toplevel" -> "top-level" while at it, perhaps we would
want to correct "work tree" -> "working tree".

Looking better.

Thanks.
