Yes, this is better. Thanks you. I see that the patch below is in your queue
already. Should I re-spin my patch with improved comment anyway?
Nope, that's OK - I fold fixup patches into the base patch before
sending them onwards.

There's always a risk that someone will get a hold of an earlier
version of the patch, but a) sending out a v2 doesn't eliminate that
risk and b) it's not very important anyway (in this case) and c)
because I separate the base patch from the fixup patches, I'll easily
notice if someone merges an earlier patch, because I'm left holding
stray fixup patches.
