In isolation, that's true, but the list of mistakes that you can make
while committing which will inconvenience everyone working on the
project is very long. Another one that comes up frequently is
forgetting to bump CATALOG_VERSION_NO, but you also need a good commit
message, and good comments, and a good Discussion link in the commit
message, and the right list of authors and reviewers, and to update
the docs (with spaces, not tabs) and the Makefiles (with tabs, not
spaces) and the meson stuff and, as if that weren't enough already,
you actually need the code to work! And that includes not only working
regularly but also with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS and debug_parallel_query
and so on. It's very easy to miss something somewhere. I put a LOT of
work into polishing my commits before I push them, and it's still not
that uncommon that I screw something up.
