Hi Stephen,

Just out of curiosity: Do you have a script that produces these
messages? How hard would it be to include the "merge patch" (conflict
resolution) itself in this e-mail?

I think that would be a very helpful addition (if it can be done with
no hassle on your side), because it means that I could actually look
over it and give a comment if it looks wrong (with no hassle on my
side, looking up the merge commit, etc.).

But if it can't be done easily, then don't bother. The issues are
mostly trivial anyway. Thanks for doing this work!
