The main problem with the patch is that it's big (and if I may say so,
also a bit messy). When Matan contributed some code to my project, I
asked him to rewrite the patches till they were of my liking, and he
was kind enough to do that. If he hadn't done that, I would have
either discarded the patches (if I was not interested in them) or
rewritten them myself.

But why was it added to the git repository?
Anyway, both the issues above are just an example of things that I
would have commented on, if I had been given a chance to review the
code. No tragedy happened and they are not big issues, I see things
like that happening quite often in the projects I work on; what is
important is that if there are more eyes to watch over the
development, many mistakes can be corrected earlier.

Ciao,
