Guys, which part of "it wasn't any individual commit" didn' you understand? Why are you concentrating on one documentation commit that I didn't even point to? But that said - no, I don't think there is any reason to even push documentation commits, unless there is a real and pressing reason (ie the documentation is really important or will really matter from a future merge standpoint). I generally won't complain about them, but I also don't see the point. I'd _much_ rather see you guys queue it up for future merges.
