Neels,

EVERY commit should be fully-reviewed, and fully reviewable.

Why? The answer is simple. If a review is not performed, then *when*
should be it be done? We all agree reviews should be done, so then
when, if not when it first gets committed?

"Branch merge" is not the right answer. At that point, the overall
change will be too large to properly review.

This is the second or third time, I've seen your log message basically
say "don't bother to review this". I think that is an incorrect
procedure/direction, so I wanted to raise this point about reviewable
code. Also note this means you should consider your commits to a
branch to be just as focused, complete, and working as any commit you
would make to /trunk.

Thanks,
