OK, then let's do only the "documentation" part.

Subject: [PATCH] diff: undocument the compaction heuristic knobs for
experimentation
It seems that people around here are all happy with the updated
heuristics used to decide where the hunks are separated. Let's keep
that as the default. Even though we do not expect too much trouble
from the difference between the old and the new algorithms, just in
case let's leave the implementation of the knobs to turn it off for
emergencies. There is no longer need for documenting them, though.
