Does a mega commit make sense or do you think > that=E2=80=99s a bad idea? Yes, you can take over wip-haskell-updates. A single big commit is not a good idea, but you don=E2=80=99t really need i= t as you=E2=80=99d merge the branch in one go, so Cuirass would not end up evalu= ating any of the intermediate commits anyway. It=E2=80=99s still good to have sm= aller commits to better undo individual changes and more easily understand related changes. -- Ricardo
