Did you ever figure out what you broke for this guy?

You are testing each option of each app you change before checking it into the
tree to make sure it can still be triggered, right?

A) It's not done.
B) I'd rather like to understand the result. It's a personal idiosyncrasy of
mine.

You have the luxury of ignoring all the parts of the tree you're not currently
touching. I do not. (I've also been trying not to touch the same files
you've been touching.)
Every time you check something into the tree, I have to review and test it.
You've added over 40 todo items to my list this week, and they're high
priority...
