Description Susan McCourt

I am reviewing code contributions today.
I reviewed the first commit, it looked reasonable, so I cherry picked it.  Then I tested it to make sure it did what I thought, and I was unsure.  Wrote a note in the bug to the contributor.

Found the next commit, cherry picked it, tested it, I like it.
How can I push just this commit from my master branch?

this is really a philosophical question about the contribution workflow, so I'll update bug 369591.  I think the answer to this particular question is that I should be making a branch for each contribution.  But the whole workflow is just so cumbersome that I was trying to cheat and cherry pick all the commits to master.

I updated the wiki page for processing contributions to remind the committer to make a branch first.   (yes we should know that but a reminder never hurts).
