I was not trying to imply that James did something wrong. It would have
been nice to avoid that headache, but I don't see that there was
something wrong with our procedures.
I was also not trying to imply that Francisco did anything wrong. I
tried doing the same merge, and it went wrong the same way. I probably
would not have pushed it, but only because I am better at spotting fishy
things. Something bad happened in the history of the translation
branch, and I have not tracked it down yet.

Sure. I killed staging the moment I found that something was wrong with
it. I just was not fast enough.
