I knew about DISTVERSION, but then I figured that 1.0.0.r4 would be greater
than 1.0.0 in the version comparison, and I didn't think about pkg version
-t. And I even thought about it. I surely made a couple more of these
around the same time :(

I try to keep up to date and star useful messages from svn-* for later
reference, but between two jobs sometimes time runs short and I miss a
batch. Having to say things twice is pretty much like pressing ^T on Linux,
so I do get your point.

Now I made a sieve rule to make sure that all replies to svn-* end up
directly into my INBOX, so I can see at a glance if there are any comments
to commit messages. Seems to be working so far.

In the meantime, thanks a lot for keeping an eye on things :)
