Since then, I've been very opposed to us guaranteeing output format
consistency without explicitly doing so.  I had sent some patches before
that I don't think ever got picked up that documented this explicitly.
I very much don't want people to come to rely on our behaviour unless we
explicitly guarantee it.

FWIW I think the reason that didn't get picked up (I went back and read
the discussion) is that there was some feedback on the v1, [1] suggested
(at least to me) that you'd re-roll it, but that re-roll never seems to
have made it to the list.

That may very well have been the case.  As mentioned upthread, I have
very limited time to work on Git these days, and sometimes things just
fall through the cracks.
