I'm just guessing here, and certainly don't want to blame anyone, but Jeff's original patch was from July, while the only date I can find for Nick's commit is September 13th. So it was probably Nick who integrated Jeff's changes into his commit (maybe thinking that Jeff's patch got lost), not Jeff assimilating a subset of Nick's changes.
