I doubt it will be fast-tracked so I expect we'll have to wait for 1.8.3
(1.8.2 is deep into the RC period).

There is one other issue that needs fixing to move forward (I tested
with 1.8.2-rc2) related to format_note.  I have a (broken) work in
progress commit for that on GitHub [1].

I'll tidy that up and post it here once there is a released version of
Git that it compiles against (and hopefully remember to update the
Makefile's GIT_VER next time :-) ).
