Maybe it's just the overall volume of the commits during the sprints. 
Plus, I've always thought it would be a good way to sneak malicious code 
in by labeling it as an svnmerge or now hg merge, so I've tried to 
review everything. I find myself slipping behind, and I'm not happy with 
it. I'm just being cranky, and hg is a convenient target.

Just ignore me.
