This brings to mind one benefit of having Ada checked into the gcc
repository. If it were in, and if your checkin log messages named the
testcase, then someone could run that one testcase after making what
they think is the right change.
I think that almost all changes should mention a testcase they fix, in
the original checkin, and that that testcase should also be checked in
with the original work. This is _why_ we have a g++ testsuite. Sound
like the Ada folks do this as well, which is good.
