Here is another (minor) error by Angeliki: 6b8d78186947 is actually a
merge (a clean one according to "hg view"), but the log message makes it
appear like a regular change. (README_REPOSITORY explains proper
treatment of merge nodes.)

I've seen that incident already on Monday -- still with a high
temperature, and not in proper shape to look more closely or write
private mails etc.

Instead, I was watching silly things like
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOJtmDYcFMg -- not totally unrelated to
this thread.

Maybe Larry can show Angeliki how to operate the "hg" chainsaw adequately.
