I've pulled it, but I'm not convinced about that odd extra merge
commit that contains the commentary.

That's what signed tags are for, and they have that explanation that
then makes it into the merge - plus they have the crypto signature to
show it all comes from you.

So that would have been the much better model than a fake extra merge.

But at least that extra merge did have explanations, so at least it
doesn't trigger me on _that_ level.
