of course! Thanks! I'm in the middle of a somewhat nasty merge, and my
fingers got all tangled working up and down the history finding what
heads have this commit. I can now do a loop with bash calling all the
heads against it. Great!

 (hmmm. just had to decide to go back to basics and perform some
reverts before retrying the merge.)
