This looks sensible to me, but I still can't make sense of the old
code which just conditionally copied it even after taking a brief
look at the pre-git history of this code.  Does anyone understand why
the code was like this?   Fixing code that seems to have had an
intention I can't make sense of always feel dangerous.
