I think it's more about number of logical changes per patch vs. number
of lines changed per patch.  I know it's a bit of revisionist history,
but it'll probably read better if the patch of moving-gobs-of-stuff- 
from-
Scheme.java-to-LispLanguage.java contains *only* that.  Any other little
changes that happened at the same time should go in a separate patch,
either before or after.  If that's too tricky to make work, though
(probably entails manual file editing and not just svn incantations),
then just do what you can.  Perhaps have the Scheme/LispLanguage changes
in one patch, then other file changes in separate patches.

Oh I was kidding about getting back to work the week after.  Feel free
to take as much time as you want.  Per's the Keeper of the Repository,
so we'll have to coordinate actual check-ins with him, anyway.  AFAIK,
the only thing you're required to do after the 20th is to submit code
samples to Google.

The timeline page on Melange says "Students can begin submitting  
required
code samples to Google" on the 31st, but it doesn't actually say what  
the
deadline is.  Have you seen more details about it?

Anyway, as long as you don't end up missing a Google deadline, it's fine
with me for you to take as long a holiday as you want.  When does the
next school year start for you?

Sounds good.
