You're welcome.  There's still more to do, of course.

Yeah.  I noticed this myself, but not until after I'd pushed. :(

I used `hg clone git+ssh://' to get a Mercurial clone of the git repo,
then `mq' to manage my patch queue.  I'd stuffed the ChangeLog into the
patch itself, *after* the change was already in my local clone, but
without finalizing the commit date part.

I fixed the date, when I copied to the ChangeLog file, but didn't make
the matching change in the patch file itself.  I then had to pop the
patch, to sync Bertrand's recent changes, before I could push, without
realizing that the subsequent `hg qpush' would add the unfinalized
ChangeLog in the patch file to the commit message -- I'm still learning
some of mq's wrinkles!

Can the commit message be edited safely in the shared repo?  If so, how?
 (I don't know git, and I don't much like what I've seen of it).
