Best to fix the capitalisation of the initialism “API” in all these.

This results in a sentence that now makes no sense. Why enclose these
words in quotation marks?

The sentence is correct by itself before the change. If it's unclear
(the double occurrence of “in” might be tricky to parse)I suggest
change that line to the following:

    after ghosts are filled in during baz conversions).

Your fix is correct, but misses a false positive (“what” instead of “was”):

    was current when ''rev'' was committed.
