Hi,
Cc’ing members of the ‘embedded’ team (normally the ‘git send-email’
hook that gets installed should do that when you compose the message,
no?).

Vagrant, Efraim: could you review and possibly apply #70131?
Some superficial comments:

‘search-patch’ must not be called from the top level: it incurs extra
‘stat’ calls and it could throw an exception. Thus, arrange to have it
called from the ‘patches’ field (which is thunked) or something similar.

Please add a line or two at the top explaining what the patch does and
where it comes from.
I’ll let Vagrant and Efraim comment on the actual change.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
