(I'll fiddle with the patch you sent)

Just push the stuff right now to mob.  Makes collaboration a bit easier 
than having to deal with the large patch by hand.  As for history: make 
sure the branch you push doesn't contain any merges (uglifies history), 
i.e. your working-mob branch should always have been rebased, not merged 
with origin/mob.  One more request: if you could make sure that multi-line 
comments in your patch are using /**/ and no leader chars, that would be 
ideal.


Ciao,
