In addition to the comments by Matt, let me just add that you should
include the above explanation in the *commit message* instead of making
it a separate email here.

I know Mercurial has tons of changesets with a single-line commit
message -- and I often regret that when a 'hg bisect' points me to one
of those changesets. Since the commit message cannot be changed after
the fact, I think it is better to err on the side of including too much
information in it.
