17 It's hard to review commits if they are spread across multiple emails.
18 Why not just commit with a single repoman invocation? At least the way I
19 do things is I take my CVS commit message from the ChangeLog entry and
20 if it has something like "Version bump and remove old ebuild" then it
21 first fine as a cvs commit message.

27 If you have a problem with a policy then start a thread to change the
28 policy to see where the majority opinion lies. Jaywalking with other
29 people does not make your action any more legal (assuming a country
30 where its never legal). Rules should be changed/improved when they don't
31 make sense any more instead of ignored (for example some countries allow
32 jaywalking if there's no traffic in sight).
