Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:2 rransom]:

 > The merges were non-trivial, and need to be reviewed carefully.

 Note to self: Do not '''ever''' write ‘non-trivial hand merge’ in a Git
 merge commit message.  The ''only'' sane way to do a non-trivial merge is
 to cherry-pick the changes over so that people can review them properly
 (rather than letting `git diff --cc` hide the newly introduced
 `rend_client_fetch_renddescs` function so I don't notice that it needs to
 be updated for 0.2.2), then do a keep-ours merge.

 > I also put a fix for #1930 (also known as #1024) on this branch, mainly
 because I didn't figure out that nuking the HS descriptor cache more often
 wouldn't cause #1930 to occur more often until after I had written that
 fix.

 I am no longer convinced that clearing the HS descriptor cache on NEWNYM
 will not make #1930 occur more often.
