"There were lots and lots of indentation-only changes. If those were separated into their own commits, with commit messages that indicated that the indentation was all that changed, it would have been easier."
Sure, but that woulda been more work for me. :P I honestly wasn't expecting you to pore through the commit log...

So commit messages aren't nearly as important to me as they would be in a team-based environment.

"I've been wondering about that too. It seems like " or ` will work just as well for those cases."
Yeah, I know. I guess it's because the only single-line thing is a non-sigil, and I wanted to be able to slap anything in without worrying about it, so \ was a single-line escape thingy. But I think I can safely get rid of it.
