You'll be mortified to hear that Sashiko wasn't able to find anything
to which to apply this.

Well, when it's right it's useful, when it's wrong or suggesting unrelated
what-nots it's less useful :>)

I do locally put things through claude + Chris Mason's prompts a lot, I
don't always invoke local sashiko as it's very slow and token-heavy or has
been so far, but am planning to do that more also in future.

Sashiko can be guided with a base-commit: tag but I'm not sure how to
tell it what tree/branch to try, or even if that's necessary.  Perhaps
someone can figure this out sometime.

b4 gives a base commit, but I think because the trees are rebased it ends
up being the incorrect one.

It's not only that the tree is rebased, but also that mm-unstable carries
the previous version of the patches.

Not sure what the solution is!
