The commit message is malformed. Start a new paragraph for the longer
description of what you are doing after the short one.

If Julia acked this patch she probably should be copied on this mail.

No need to change this.

This cannot possibly be correct! You are calling a function with side
effects twice. The first call in the condition might fail while the call
in the return statement might succeed, never minding the wastefulness of
two identical calls. Besides, the original code here seems fine to me.

Same here.

This change looks fine, though.

Automatically generating patches does not free you from validating each
of them manually.
