Comment:

 I made a new branch, rebased and cleaned up my git history. It seems that
 I cannot create pull request against torproject repo on Github as I'm not
 "officially" a fork (I think my fork historically predates torproject
 mirror repo). However I made a pull request against my git master which I
 keep in-sync with upstream:

 https://github.com/rl1987/tor/pull/2

 This should make the patch easier to read.
