Thanks for what, Christian? Ah.... It seems you're misunderstanding me as I might have been a bit to brief. I have commit privileges in other projects. I don't have that privilege in this project.
By the way, I have seen your recent git coalescence/aggregation regarding various issues into one big-sized patch. Affecting multiple components. This is, I surmise, the result of the way Git is utilised as a change integration tool from various private development branches before submitting patches/promoted. Which is a bit harder to achieve in SVN. At the moment I am not certain whether to llike or dislike the end result (the patch in question).
