Some more admin/training noise.

First of all, I definitely appreciate the effort you're putting into
trying to make our system work!  But here I think you're working a
little too hard :-P

I'm doubt it really makes sense to name these patches accept issue1232
and resolve issue 1232 respectively because that creates confusion about
what issue1232 actually is.

So technically the right thing to do would be to create a new ticket,
but YUCK! that's a lot of noise for a minor issue.  I think what I would
have happily accepted is a patch saying "Extend issue1232 test to
account for missing _darcs/prefs/prefs case".  See what I mean?

Care to tweak?

PS. I worry that the meta noise I make sounds like just being anal
    and caring more about Process than Work.  Process is *not* the point
    here.  Or at least, it is only the point to the extent that it's
    about trying to figure out what makes things easiest for the group
    in the long run.  I just hope that all this meta-noise I generate
    does not paralyse the team :-(

You don't actually need to || exit 1 here
I don't think.

Looks fine to me.  Thanks for fixing this (and apologies for not
catching it the first time!).

The art of doing a good review is not just look at what the patch
says, but think very very very hard about what the patch does NOT
say... and this is where I experienced review fail.  Oh well, I
just have to keep on trying and keep on learning...
