Um, what?

$> rlog r-cssc-b280c-1-core.conf | grep 'total revision'
total revisions: 2009;  selected revisions: 2009

We have our operators manually check in revisions (think in rcs terms:
co -l router, go do work, verify it, ci -u router) rather than
unsolicited / cron-triggered checkins.  Then the check-in message
contains the operator's description text of the change and often a
ticket number.  So there slightly fewer fat-finger configs checked in.
