What am I supposed to do if I cannot commit to Emacs for a long time
because of feature freeze and pretest, and if in the mean time the
changes accumulate to this amount?  I don't know a different way,
most certainly not using CVS.

Also, what else should I put into the commit message?  A long
time ago it was explained to me that this is *exactly* what should be
in there.
