All I did was to push the merge to core-updates.  I was short on time
and didn't look at Hydra at all.  At present, there is a core-updates
evaluation pending, but it's quite late in the process--the Scheme code
has already finished running--so I'm reluctant to cancel this one.  At
this late phase of the process, I don't know how to discover which
commit it corresponds to, but we'll find out when it's done.
