This actually might be considered a detriment.  Let's say that you're
someplace you can review a change but not apply it.  So you review it
and determine that it's good.  Then the patch creator changes it in a
way that you don't find acceptable, but still passes all the tests.

Later, when you arrive at home/work/other and can actually do something
with it, is there any obvious way for you to know that it has changed
and needs another review?  If at that point you pull the change, commit
it locally, and push it to the repo, it won't be what you've already
reviewed.

Of course, a smart committer won't ever push anything without a
comprehensive final review, but everyone has times when they are in a
rush to get things done.

I'm wondering if my +1 might have been a little hasty. :)

Thanks,
Shawn
