+<PRE>Dwayne,
+
+
+&gt;<i> No, each commit should be a distinct change (and each distinct change
+</I>&gt;<i> should have its own commit). Having separate commits for the following
+</I>&gt;<i> makes sense:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> - Replace tabs with spaces
+</I>&gt;<i> - Py3K _fastmath.c support
+</I>&gt;<i> - Change _fastmath.c to compile with VC++
+</I>&gt;<i> - add MPIR support
+</I>&gt;<i> - Add Ron Rivest Test
+</I>&gt;<i> - Add unit tests for Crypto.Random.random
+</I>&gt;<i> - Update documentation with current state of security of hash and
+</I>&gt;<i> cipher functions.
+</I>&gt;<i> - Update documentation with Python 3.x notes.
+</I>&gt;<i> - Add unit test for AllOrNothing
+</I>&gt;<i> - Fix AllOrNothing and random.sample()
+</I>
+I took a stab at just a portion of this, the first _fastmath.c changes.
+The result is that I have a lot of conflicts, and after resolving those,
+I have code that won't compile.
+
+I can't easily untangle these changes: The additional unit tests either
+presume that the py3k compatibility layer is there, or are needed to
+make the library work under py3k.
+
+I have a limited amount of enthusiasm for fixing that which already
+works, so it fits into a neater order. Here's my compromise proposal:
+
+I will change the unit tests to wrap the test vectors in a different
+place, instead of wrapping the literals, as we had discussed.
+
+And I will give you a branch with one commit that has all of the changes
+that were made.
+
+I understand the desire for incremental commits. I can keep it in mind
+in future, with the better understanding of git that I now have. For
+this py3k change, though, the amount of work needed to attempt to
+&quot;unravel&quot; the change and bring it in order is too great for me to want
+to tackle it. The best I can offer is the compromise above.
+
+I could go on - I'll refrain. Hope to hear from you soon.
+
+Thorsten
