Yes, I understand the cumbersome situation that dealing with multiple patches 
causes and I thought that was the reason too :) It is not like this happens 
each time, so it is ok :)

My takeaway would be that we should be running a short list of pre-checkin 
tests before sending out the code for review. We had written it up internally 
here. I’ll send that out. That might be helpful.

Of course, thanks for the explanation. This is one off case, not a problem as 
such. The only reason for my comment is that, I take patches by face-value and 
trust that the developer has done all the due diligence. Sometimes we miss 
something, and it is perfectly ok to say “I missed this, and fixing it now”, no 
big deal :)

thanks,
