Sorry, I didn't look close enough.  Please avoid pulling home-page up,
it's not meant to be used as git-reference url.

This inserts mostly bogus into the file rather than killing the sexps
as it should.  The payload for just killing the entire sexp which
starts with leading-regexp would be (if I constructed this correctly,
untested):
    
    (progn (goto-char (point-min))
           (re-search-forward ,leading-regexp)
           (goto-char (match-beginning 0))
           (kill-sexp))

Don't forget to basic-save-buffer :)

Cheers
