The specific issue was that several people had made suggestions in this
area, some of which were conflicting, and I was mulling over what the right
thing to commit was. They were made to me, but in a public forum, in
response to my original commit. Since I had other changes in flight, I
wasn't sure the right way to roll them in. Then with no warning or heads
up, the issue was forced by ngie committing changes to something that I'd
just touched without even so much as a heads up. And it didn't help that
the friction this created wasted 10 minutes of my time dealing with git svn
rebase tripping over 3 or 4 commits in my queue.

So I was harsh. Perhaps a bit too harsh and too public, but this wasn't a
first offense. I'll try to moderate that in the future.
