I think we're at the bottom of this particular rabbit hole, but I'll
do that next time.  I think it's useful to occasionally pull this sort
of thing out in front of a wider audience, to demonstrate the value of
useful commit messages and continuity in version control history.  The
problem of discontinuity and copy/paste commits is certainly a much
bigger issue with SWC than just the badge history.  And we have
ongoing work at improving how we teach commit message composition
[1,2,3].  Anyhow, if I'd realized that I was actually going to find
the SVG source for the badges, I would have started with an issue ;).

Cheers,
Trevor
