+Subject: [PATCH] Handle --keep-above passed through to editor_command_line
+
+Handling of nm-connection-editor command line arguments was
+changed in f3782da2. Since that commit, most args are handled
+by `editor_command_line`, but one (`--keep-above`) is handled
+by `main`. Unfortunately, if `--keep-above` appears with other
+arguments, `main` does not strip it from argv and parsing in
+`editor_command_line` fails with "Failed to parse options".
+
+To handle this, let's just have `editor_command_line` recognize
+but ignore `--keep-above` if it encounters it.
