The simpler output is fine.

Urg. Too many email threads in progress. Sorry, I'm crossing emails with
you. I already posted saying I want (3.), but anything will do for now.
It was only a desire to get _something_ happening on trunk that we could
all work with that led me to commit (3.) to trunk r33878 on Friday.
I wouldn't have minded (1), but I've just now completed testing a
catch-up merge to your branch which introduces (3), so rather than
abandoning it I'm committing it. Sorry if it feels like I'm being pushy
there.

That would have been no problem, and still is no problem if further
changes are needed.
You also posted saying let's merge the pre-r33891 state of the branch to
trunk. Yes, if it's an improvement on trunk, please do it! I'm not sure
if that means cherry-picking or reverting a susequent merge or what.
