I've pulled them, but I'm not happy about it. They are all *very* new.

Why do they have commit times literally *minutes* before your email to
ask me to pull?

What kind of testing have these gotten?

Seriously, if I get a pull request with commits this new, I want to
have an *explanation*. The explanation could be "I use quilt, and this
underwent lots of testing outside of git", but the explanation should
be there!

I took them because they look simple enough, but that still leaves me grumpy.
