Sure, I'll take a look at that.

I'm happy to deploy the changes to production asap -- perhaps tomorrow
after the ESC call would work well. I just want to make sure that I
have some QA folks available to hammer on the changes and make sure
nothing wonky has happened. I don't think that we'll see any
interference between the patches and the git-integration for the devs,
but that'll be another piece to double-check.
