And please, pretty please, don't _abandon_ changes and resubmit them to a 
different branch. _Do_ ask Ossi or Frederik to re-target on the server, _esp_ 
if you've already run into half a dozen revisions. Submitting a new change 
without the ability to use inter-change diffs is just rude towards the 
reviewers.

Thanks,
Marc
