I tried this earlier when I was trying to make this work, but it just
sends corrupt messages.  I don't want to spam the list with that.

I have commit access.  All I want to do is push my changes.  Every time
I get closed to commit, someone wants to see my patches in some other

want to commit, can I just do that?
