Is moody Pennsylvania Japanese? He can sure churn that butter.

Clarified: butter is code for rio/kb/kbdfs/ktrans. G(h)ee whiz!

My bewildered reaction during my quarterly sync, reading through the
dozens of commits for this one feature:

I'd advise churning in your own repo until you've settled on a good
design. People have to read these commits and merge them with their
environment.

But it's nice that someone is working on alternate input methods, so
kudos to moody for that.

Cheers,
  Anthony

This is THE repo. This is where the churn happens.

If you want 9legacy you know where to find it.

There's one repo, but there are such things as branches.  I think it's
up to those doing development on how they want to develop, and right
now no one feels a need or desire to have a separate branch for
anything.

What are your assumptions and expectations about how our source moves?
If you don't like the stuff I'm working on, then filter out my commits
on merge. If you are still dissatisfied, you may mail in a form for a
full refund on what you paid for those patches.

It turns out when bringing in a set of patches, some people look at the
commit messages instead of the code.  I don't know why.  These people
apparently think that commit logs should be finely-crafted zen gardens
instead of a record of changes made to the repo.  

Meanwhile, I regard commit-log curation as one degree separated from
triming your toenails at the dinner table.  The world will never know
peace.
