Understood. For me this fell inside the 'trivial other change' boundary.

`if' allows only a single statement for `then', which results in code like:

     (if foo
        (progn
          (this)
          (that)
          (theother)))

so if there is no `else' clause I've been preferring:

      (when foo
        (this)
        (that)
        (theother))

but that's obviously personal and not important in this specific case.

Your git-fu is obviously much stronger than mine. :-) Rebasing (groups
of) patches takes more of my time and is more error prone than I'd like.
