While we're at it, can I please request that commits also be split up
into logical blocks?  For instance, committing EDID 1.3 support along
with a documentation change along with a trivial Radeon driver fix along
with an Imakefile change for libXpm and at least ten other fixes makes
no sense, and makes it far, far, far harder to see what changed at a
glance.  Grouping the ChangeLog commits is fine, but I find it immensely
frustrating when I type 'cvs log radeon_driver.c | less' and get
confronted with screens upon screens of unrelated changelog.
