And change the script every major version? Come on... Also, if someone
tries to unpull an old patch (cherry picking, plausibly due to
suspecting that old patch of breaking something) they will be missing
the tag and the script will fall apart.

It would be *much* better to just implement get --intersection than to
try work around its absence (effectively implementing a bad and slow
version of it in bash).
