Getting the direction right gives huge long term benefits. This is
precisely why I want small patches, as it lets me evaluate each chunk.

Note the commits I got done over the weekend: each small and relatively
isolated - even when more work simply cried out to be done immediately
afterwards. The only complex patch was the one shifing PickView into the
Window hierarchy, and that was as small as I could make it.

(note too: The same discipline let me quickly identify and fix the
problem Max reported - it was 5 minutes work once I returned home.)
