Yes, this looks great.

(Related to the multi-targets commit rather than to this one.) What
semantics should this paragraph promise now that there are multiple
targets?

Ahh, thus neatly side-stepping the issue that multi-URL prop-sets were
not being combined into a single commit. That problem is now more
neatly left as a future improvement.

It also resolves an issue I didn't notice before: the old doc string
promised cancellation support, but it was not implemented for the
multi-URLs code path.

Doc string? I added one in r1095824 since I think I know the rationale
for this particular set of checks.

Wrong error message.
