Sorry, but it's hard to be sympathetic to this.  I go through this on
a regular basis, so do other GDB contributors: it's the risk you take
for deploying things before they're merged.  If you don't get at least
the protocol documentation committed to the master repository, then
this is what happens.

Speaking of documentation, is there a documentation part for the
remote protocol changes?  I haven't seen one in the most recent patch
set, and I don't want any new protocol extensions without docs (for
the obvious reason).
