Hi Daniel!

Sorry, my middle-mouse-button pasting must've messed something up.

True. kfogel, on the other hand, committed such a patch... I can't commit,
so I can only post changes or ignore them. I figured you'd just choose to
ignore the post. Should I just ignore these kinds of errors, instead?

So, a proper subject line for a patch destined for the tree-conflicts branch
should be

  [PATCH] tree-conflicts: foo bar yada

? I previously thought I should keep tree-conflicts branch stuff a little
less loud, as in lower-case non-tagged, to not bother you with it.

Thanks for your feedback!
