I think derek just wants a more elaborate commit message that explains
with more detail what this fixes and why and how. 

Maybe something like:

the pivot has to lie between 0 and base thus a check of ==base is
insufficient. Thus replace it by a proper check

IMHO adding that extra line is not a bad idea, though its no major
thing to me if that line is there or not. Its a major thing to others
it seems ...

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
