I once held hope that git would let us be more flexible about this,
but experimentation has shown that it's not significantly smarter than
CVS about back-patches in moved code :-(.

I don't want to say that we should *never* move code once it's released;
but I think the bar for that needs to be set pretty high, and this
particular case isn't clearing the bar for me.
