Re: [PATCH] Do not print log separator in contribulyze.

Committed in r32147, thanks.

Just for next time: it's best to always post log message and patch
together, so no one has to think about which log message goes with which
patch. Even when there is only one patch and multiple log messages, as
in this case, it's still easy to get confused. The goal to aim for is
one single mail message that overrides all previous mails, and says so
clearly. That way, the most thinking anyone has to do is to compare
dates on messages.

By the way, I think Peter Samuelson was right, in this case: the IRC
transcript wasn't adding much information after all, so I used a
different log message.
