Well, trivial or not, the code looks _much_ better now so those
small changes really worked.

Here [last] are the git commands used so far.

There is actually only one thing that is painful still and
that is launching 'git commit -a' from a terminal and have
a new Emacs instance pop up with no link to your regular
session, and then you have to type the log message there with
no killing and yanking and no buffers available from where you
just were, with everything ready which you now cannot access
just when you need it.

So if one could do that without launching a new instance, that
would be really helpful to the workflow and
reduce frustration.
