[PATCH 0/2] Contrib: Pick: Remove horrible hack

[Mark Walters]

Would anyone be able to review (or just test) this pair of patches: they
are smaller and simpler than the diffstat suggests: the second patch is
just 3 extra lines of code (with some whitespace change and commments).

This pair of patches does remove the worst piece of code in pick: a
sleep loop waiting for the correct message to arrive.

I should have said that it applies on top of
id:1369550458-30562-1-git-send-email-markwalters1009 at gmail.com

(which is also very simple)

Many thanks

Mark
