That didn't land in the mainline. I've used a commit from Greg's repo[1]
(frequently rebased) to save time on testing. GitHub allows referencing
commits from any fork, so one has to pay attention to tags and branches
a commit exists in. Using the original repo instead of a fork allows to
reference a commit even if the fork is removed or renamed but if the
commit is orphaned for prolonged time it maybe garbage-collected.
