I really do appreciate all the patches to Fossil that have been coming in
lately.  Thanks for the help!!!

But if you look at the timeline (
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?c=2011-08-24&n=40) you'll see that
contributors are putting changes in branches to which they have assigned a
background color or red or pink.  I don't have any fundamental objections to
pink, but I would prefer it to be used in moderation.

For a month now (ever since http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/c946b573c7)
Fossil has been choosing branch colors automatically based on a hash of the
branch name.  And this technique has proven remarkably effective.  Behold
the the appearance of the timelime (
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/timeline?c=2011-08-24&n=40&brbg) when
Fossil gets to choose its own branch colors.  You still see a pink branch
now and then, but like I said before, an occasional pink branch is fine.  It
only gets annoying when every branch is pink.

Would anybody object if I go back to the initial check-ins on some of the
pink branches, and remove their explicit color tag, thus allowing Fossil to
pick its own branch colors?

Once again, thank you all for the contributions.  I'd rather have pink
contributions than no contributions at all.  But contributions in a variety
of pleasing earth-tones would be better still!
