I removed you from my spam filter after a few days (alas, I haven't got that 
luxury).

I was at OLS all week and am currently catching up on email while David drives 
us back to Pittsburgh.  It'll be a few days before I'm really caught up.

And along the way I'm poking at a graceful svn->mercurial repository 
conversion script (based on the patch directory on my laptop) because with 
svn I can't commit anything when I'm not attached to the net and this 12 hour 
drive is yet another example (like my daily 2 hour commute on the bus; 
there's no parking in Pittsburgh) where svn and I are fighting with each 
other.  I just added another dozen patches to my pending folder, but can't 
commit anything right now, and if I queue up a big patch series to commit in 
order, I'm assuming nobody committed anything else to any of these files in 
the meantime.  So I have to review and merge when I'm attached to the net.

(Yeah, I've picked Mercurial over git.  It's a much simpler design, twice as 
fast, 1/10th as much code, the on-disk layout is much nicer...  And according 
to both Junio Hamano of git and Matt Mackall of mercurial, writing a 
converter back and forth is pretty simple so if I pick mercurial I should 
eventually be able to pull from people who use git without losing any of the 
funky lateral branch history that makes decentralized 3 way merges work so 
well...)
