I found a few improvements that could be made to some commit messages though. Thanks.

I think set_head() part is fairly trivial. But there seems to be a much bigger conflicts with the incremental midx topic. I actually do not understand offhand why doing anything to the midx layer needs to change the calling convention of set_head() or many other things that are unrelated to what midx layer does, and that do *not* use the new parameter *anyway*. Shouldn't the "subsubcommand can inherit the repository from the builtin subcommand implementation" be split out as a separate topic, which the midx thing later builds on? Thanks.
