Yup. I think it's more important to get the rest calmed down again, and fix the things that got broken. Sadly, "git-whatchanged -s" was one such thing.

(I think that's just because the "silent" test used to depend on the magical behaviour of the "header" thing, and now that the header generation and suppression is sane, "silent" doesn't work any more)
