*if* being the operative word. I cannot believe that we would be combining
things with different messages into a single commit. The identifying key is
a combination of the author and log message. A second use of that key must
occur within a five minute window to be combined into the commit with the
first use. The time lag is because the commits are not atomic -- they will
span periods of time, based on the speed of the user's connection and what
they are uploading/committing. When converting the mod_dav repository, the
commits have spanned no more than a few seconds.
