LGTM.

This...

... and this might be done in different commits.  Also, you typo'd in
the ChangeLog, the version ought to be 8.5

You don't normally need to mention hash updates, but (*).

LGTM.

No.  Unless you address the issue at hand (which I don't want to be a
blocker for this series, mind you), it persists.  If you don't like how
the comment is written currently, you might suggest an alternative
formulation, but people deserve to know that the origtree layout is a
hack.

(*) here it makes sense to document the checksum updates, because
they'd otherwise be invisible.
