Sure, understood. If that happens again, just quickly propedit the
log message to say that you're planning to fix it up later -- that
would be the best short-term solution, IMHO.

I always assumed we were treating dist.sh like any other piece of
Subversion -- making master changes on trunk, and porting them outward
to branches as necessary. Any deviation from that adds unexpected
complexity, so IMHO it would have to be a very big benefit to be worth
the added complexity. In this case, I'm not sure what the benefit
would be. Why can't we just treat dist.sh normally?
However, in the case of these *particular* changes, don't port them
back to trunk just yet. Frankly I think the best course would be to
revert them on the branch, then have our discussion here about what we
want to do to dist.sh (since there is clearly some disagreement), and
then when agreement is reached, make the appropriate changes on trunk.
