So, I guess trying to distill what bugs me, I'd say: it seems to me
that you have ignored what Junio said about taking my series, and then
you rebased my series on top of unrelated stylistic churn, with that
churn containing three issues that trigger ongoing misgivings I have
about the care being put behind these refactorings, especially
considering their value compared to the features and bugfixes we are
getting, and you seem to fail to try to understand my changes and
misrepresent them in the process.  I hope I'm not overreacting but
something feels wrong to me here.

Just one thing.  It is fairly easy to rebase and merge and generally
muck with somebody else's changes without fully understanding it.  I
do that all the time ;-)

I would prefer to see us assume misunderstanding by incompetence,
rather than misrepresentation by malice to further one's own agenda.
