I'm not able to reproduce this problem in my working copy--the GNU head
shows up, if fuzzily--and I haven't frotzed around in the formatter
since I last pushed.

In the spirit of "nothing up my sleeve":

$ git log --oneline --reverse origin..master

I do notice that Peter's document comment reported a version about 500
commits behind HEAD.

Attaching my results.  I modified the exhibit to force the formatter to
disclose full version information (this requires the `-U` option).
Also, since I stored the artifacts in my "EXPERIMENTS" directory, it
expects to find the GNU head image there.
