Thank you.

It doesn't; it just is something that makes me unhappy with the
direction things are apparently going. I guess in the future we will
merge -cvs into -patches, at which point this should be moot---except
for the fine point of getting something to attract the RE's attention
into the subject line.

But with commit-and-review, that's redundant.
