It's a bummer that this auto detection doesn't work, it looked to be the
right thing.
But I prefer functionality over pipe dreams ;-)

Can you add here that former versions of this code tried to autodetect
rank and width, but this didn't work reliably? This would give people
some breadcrumbs to follow with git log/git annotate.

Otherwise this is fine:

I can extend the commit while committing, if you like.

Cheers,
