erik

• Went to the brown-bag with the GitHub VP of R&D. Had a great Q&A afterward which I'll probably turn into a blog article, "Things I didn't know about git"—lots of non-obvious best-practices stuff. GitHub is working on the ability to comment directly on comparisons.

• Fixed Document based_on semantics, which took forever.
• Reviewed jsocol's enormous forums branch.
