What I get for looking at patches too early in the morning!  For some

But yes, please do update the change log as above and I will be happy

I mean the models themselves in CodeSamples/formal/herd/memory-model.
Except that yes, this is a symbolic link.  So clearly not a problem
at all.

Never mind!!!  Like I said, too early this morning!  :-/
