Can u take a look now,

I tried to
git fetch --all

but that doesn't fetch webpack-4 branch for some reasons

So i just cherry picket the commit to patch branch and then force pushed it

Please let me know if that doesn't work

There should only be a single commit in the list above. Reset your branch to the webpack-4 first. git reset --hard webpack-4.

Thank you for your pull request! The most important CI builds succeeded, we’ll review the pull request soon.
