Am I right in thinking that this change in the upstream source: https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/commit/08781798f564a68abee11c74e2b98272657b2a56#diff-a13581e6dfc1c61c90703da188230cbcR123 becomes this change in the ruby gem that subsequently goes into the package: https://github.com/leshill/handlebars_assets/commit/53443fa7f92c011714bd6aa5831be6074131cfca#diff-49dc26dc0a147a52074ac39c72bd99b1R2119 and if so, are you really trying to claim that these are indistinguishable as far as anyone working on the code might be concerned?
