Hi,

a small request: when you will be committing the coding style reviews, please 
push them all in one commit and put multiple "REVIEW" keywords in the commit 
message to close all the reviews. From our previous experience, committing 
each review as a separate commit clutters the git log a lot :-)

Cheers,
Dan
