I saw three things happen to poor jwatt that really threw him for
a loop, and I think they are all more likely related to Git than
to the Cairo project specifically:

 * His user.name/user.email is probably not what he wanted;

 * His Cygwin/Windows system made some *.c/*.c files 0755 without
   him realizing it;

 * gitweb made it appear as though a whole lot of Carl's recent
   work was somehow undone in the merge.
