#2812

[pkozlowski-opensource]

@loicoudot your proposed change for leading 0 sounds reasonable, I guess this is what commits d660726 and 95abaaf are taking care of. But I'm puzzled by 7f272f4. Why is it part of this PR? What is it trying to fix?

To move forward on this one we would need one PR for one functional change with all the commits squashed.

[loicoudot]

You're completely right, 7f272f4 is for an another patch, I can't find the way to remove this commit from the PR.
Do you want an another PR with only the first two ones ?

[pkozlowski-opensource]

@loicoudot yeh, this would be great. On top of this if you could squash 2 commits into one and follow our commit message convention - this would be totally awesome.

[loicoudot]

I've created #2855 hope this time it's good.
Closing this one.

[pkozlowski-opensource]

@loicoudot #2855 indeed looks good. If there is any patch you would like to land as part of 7f272f4 please open a separate PR for it. Thnx!

The commit 7f272f4 was the patch proposed by
#2659 that we need because we encountered that bug.
