Isolater one of these changes may be OK, but if a similar thing is done
at many places then perhaps a better approach needs to be found.

For which we have support for hierarchical branches, like how you worked
with ntlm and authrewrite. Have a upper branch to where you percolate
stable changes from a development branch.
