Oh I can easily understand!

When I need to split a patch into pieces, usually what I do is that I
revert it, re-apply it without committing, then "git add -p", validate
all the hunks to be taken as the first patch (ie here the cleanups),
commit, then commit the rest as a separate one. It seems to me that the
fix is in the last few hunks though I'm not sure yet.
