Erm, I haven't been able to access the Git server at all today (is
there a problem with the server?), otherwise I would have fixed the
above branch: it's based on a rather old commit.

The good news: if you rebase it to the latest master it WILL apply
cleanly and WILL work (modulo any unforeseen intrusive changes between
now and the time you rebase ;)).

I'll be back on Monday.
