The problem is that 1.8.6 is not supposed to accept commits that haven't 
filtered down through other releases. See my other mail or Matz's 
description of the process on ruby-talk:

http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-talk-google/msg/b37c751b88c08a67

So if every patch that comes into 1.8.6 has to go through SVN anyway, 
what does the github repo gain us?
