I had thought of escaping all kinds of parentheses and brackets: all
of "[(])", but that does not make much sense. Multiple levels makes
more sense, it's good to explain that.

If you can do that, it would be preferable to merge the 3rd and 5th
patch together before pushing, because the intermediate states of your
work are hardly important for the future. You can't do that any more
once it's pushed. You know how to do that? If not, here's the recipe:
  1. Back up your entire gnulib checkout, including the .git subdirectory.
  2. Look at the recent history using "gitk".
  3. Do "git stash", as a prerequisite for "git rebase".
  4. "git rebase -i HEAD~3" and in the editor change
         pick 3
         pick 4
         pick 5
     into
         pick 3
         squash 5
         pick 4
     (where the numbers 3, 4, 5 are more complicated than that).
  5. "git stash pop".
  6. Look at the recent history using "gitk" again.
