Re: correct svn merge

This is a meta-comment, not directed only at solo turn ("Solo Turn"?):

If you capitalize the beginnings of your sentences, your messages will
become significantly easier to read. When I'm pressed for time and I
see an all lower-case mail, I often skim it, or just skip it entirely,
because the effort/payoff ratio is already raised. I'll bet I'm not
the only such reader.

Traditional English capitalization rules are not random -- they
evolved for a reason :-).

Thanks,
-Karl
