+# space for ok lines and ! for questionable ones, and with relevant

+# Changes are generally marked as ok if they correspond to a known
+# intended code change pattern.  (That includes changing error calls
+# to different error calls.)  If they don't correspond to any known
+# pattern, they are "questionable" and the first thing that doesn't
+# match the most common pattern is reported.

+# Might be useful for projects other than dgit, provided it uses
+# the same gettext aliases (__ f_ i_) and similar error calls
+# (die, confess, fail).
