It does, however. You frequently do not even tell the original contributor
what changes you made while applying the patches. I know because I have
been surprised by some of those changes, long after you merged them into
`master`.

And quite honestly, my time is valuable, too. So you should stop assuming
that I, for one (and probably other contributors, too) compare carefully
what differences exist between the local topic branch and what you chose
to make of the patches. I cannot make you stop suggesting that, but I can
tell you right away that I won't do that unless I *have* to. It is an
inefficient use of my time. I wish you would also realize that it
invariably leads to your having to "touch up" iteration after iteration
because your touch-ups had not been picked up.

Having said that, I can live with the status quo. I have a track record of
being able to.

Ciao,
Dscho
