Ha! No problem. v2 sent.

Of course I missed that. Fixed in v2. If only etc/committer didn't choke
on it because git-diff decided that literal strings are function
definitions... Looking at it now, git 2.32+ has a built-in function regex
for Scheme, so if we add

  *.scm   diff=scheme

to a .gitattributes file, we should get better diff headers. Quick
testing shows that if we have nested functions, it shows the innermost
one, though. A little modification to the regex can make it show the
topmost one. This is what we want for etc/committer, but is it what we
want elsewhere? I'll send a patch shortly.
