Stephen - what is this message?  Is this a merge to your private
workspace?  I got confused into thinking you had promoted Jerry's
change to the XEmacs-beta repository, but that's not the case, right?
Please arrange not to send personal commit messages to the
xemacs-patches list, it confuses this programmer of very small brain.

On a separate (but perhaps related) topic, Michael - how do you
propose to track when you (or I or anyone) promote changesets from the
hg xemacs repository to the hg xemacs-beta repository?  Ideally a
follow-up message to the original PATCH/COMMIT message similar to what
I send for 21.4 patches should be sent, but if sending a non-followup
message is easier to automate, then lets do that.  Either way, there
needs to be some message sent to XEmacs-patches for each commit to the
hg xemacs-beta repository.

BTW, in retrospect, "xemacs" is a bad name for the repository, I think
"xemacs-experimental" or "xemacs-bleeding-edge" would be a more
accurate name.

Regards,
  Vin
