By the way, it's true that UI should be carefully thought of and we

should have simple paths, it's supposed to be complex (within reason)

True - parenthesized part removed form the patch.

By the way, I'm already using SVN (and thus svn diff) for this patch. Is
that right? Was the migration completed already?
