Thanks.

I prefer patches inline since it's easier to apply/review, but some mail
clients mangle them.  git send-email comes with git and is a good way
to send email if you're stuck on a mail client than mangles email.

Also, don't include HTML parts/attachments to your email (ever :P).

What was the error?  1.9.3 is my primary platform.


I've inlined your patch below and have a few comments inline:

The commit message should explain why the change is necessary.

No require for 'pathname'?

It should be possible to safely remove the "path = path.dup" line above.

I noticed your second patch reverted this change.  Better to use
"git commit --amend" to rewrite changes (especially trivial ones)
before sending them so you don't propagate the noise going forward.
