Ok. All the content in the repository at

Thank you. I presume that the copyright is novated also.

I'll get cracking on some changes.

This will probably be next week now, just in case you're wondering when
I'll start adding patches.

The commit message and release notes mention might have just Simon's
name, or multiple people.

The hot patch commit is going to have multiple people involved before it
is committed, so if Simon is worried that the patch will have ideas in
it he does not agree with, perhaps we can make sure the commit and
release note items include Heikki's name as well. Normally if a
committer makes signficant changes to a patch, the committer's name is
also added to the commmit message, and I suggest we do the same thing
here with hot standby.

I think this is a weakness of our current style of heavy-weight
commits. I don't have a great suggestion for fixing it, though. Even
if we move to git, a major feature like this has such a complex
development history that I'm queasy about slurping it in unsquashed.
But at least for simple features I think that there would be a value
in separating the patch author's work from the committer's adjustments.

I realize (now) that this would complicate the release note generation
process somewhat, based on our current process, and there might be
other downsides as well. All the same, I think it has enough value to
make it worth thinking about whether there's some way to make it work.
