Comment (by leif):

 I'm cross-posting this comment to #68 and #467.

 Here is a squashed commit of the multi-introducer and introducerless
 patches on top of the current master:
 https://github.com/leif/tahoe-lafs/compare/master...introless-multiintro-
 squashed

 And here is a 3-way merge combining the history of both feature branches
 with master in such a way that ```git log``` and ```git blame``` can still
 find the original commits: https://github.com/leif/tahoe-
 lafs/compare/master...introless-multiintro-with-history (creating this was
 a git adventure; I ended up doing the 3-way merge using ```-s ours``` and
 then doing another squash merge followed by ```git commit --amend```)

 I'm going to write more tests before submitting a pull request with one of
 these. But, if anyone wants to review or test it now I'd appreciate it!
