Patch looks fine Paul!.

+1 to commit.

Apart from one typo(revsion -> 'revision') and one code indentation
issue(prepare_subtree_ranges one if(err) clause has subsequent lines
with 3 spaces) everything looks fine.

Sorry for the delay, needed some continuous quality time to acquire the
original context with this problem/patch.

With regards
Kamesh Jayachandran
