I was more questioning whether we need to individual status line, not
necessarily
that each item is updated explicitly. However, I just checked the
command-line
client, and it does the same thing. Has this changed recently?

The CI purist in me says everything should be updated, the problem here is
what level do you update. Lowest common parent, perhaps? Then again, I
guess the workflow should be to explicitly update outside of the commit
process anyway, run the build/unit tests, and then commit.

I don't have any preference either way - just thought the multiple
notifications
thing looked a bit strange.
