git describe --contains 6e6de3dee51a v5.3-rc1~38^2~6
I'm a bit torn about this situation. Reverting 6e6de3dee51a would be the right thing to do, but without it, it still leaves the issue reported by Prarit Bhargava. We need a way to resolve the issue on stable and then your optimizations can be applied on top.
Prarit Bhargava, please review Petry's work and see if you can come up with a sensible way to address this for stable.
Luis
