I think you gave descriptions to a reasonable level of detail to explain what your expected workflow is, to what extent the current tools support the workflow already, and what are still missing (and you want to extend the system to help). The reason I asked these questions is to make sure that future readers of "git log" after your contribution becomes part of our history will not have to ask them (as you won't be as readily available to answer their questions). So please don't be content just because you answered and helped _me_ understand where you're coming from. Make sure an updated documentation and proposed log message explains them well to our future readers without your assistance. Thanks.
