There also seems to be some weirdness in that David's October 17 changes to
credit.cpp don't appear diffed in any of the messages I received.  A search
of the my email doesn't show any mentions of credit.cpp since October 2.
 This could have gotten lost in the conversion, but I mention it just in
case it represents a problem.

I'm also a bit concerned given that they are significant changes not
mentioned in the checkin_notes messages (apart from the filename appearing
there), I'm not entirely sure David meant to be checking them in at this
point, or if he was still working on them.
