For those not using SSH ControlMaster, one of the side-effects of having
to do two separate commits is the SSH setup latency hitting twice.

I wouldn't call it repoman's fault like Fabian did, but the
double-commit is why I called it a mess. If we drop the $Header$ in any
file covered by a developer-generated Manifest, it becomes a single
commit with contents+Manifest :-).
