[Stalled]
- apply: split load_preimage() helper function out
- apply: refactor read_file_or_gitlink()
- apply: clear_image() clears things a bit more
- (this branch is tangled with jc/wip-apply-3way.)
"git apply" learns to wiggle the base version and perform three-way merge
when a patch does not exactly apply to the version you have.
