I could do that.  I'm also considering separating out the master_sync code and maintaining two branches: one that works just with master, and one that integrates with master_sync.  I would end up having to wipe out the commit history for the branch, since I would checkout the individual loop recorder files into a clean branch, but it would definitely clean things up significantly.  What do you think?  IMO, At this point the commit history isn't super important since the loop recorder feature is pretty much bolted on to the existing code and is fairly modular.
