Sigh, indeed. I thought I had checked that. Though Mark had comments
on the commit msg, so I assumed he wanted changes. The automated
applied emails just get lost in my inbox. It would be nice if they
kept the subject instead of adding 'Applied "...' so gmail would group
them. Of course, it would be nice if gmail could honor threading too.
