It is one hairy mess of inter-dependent classes! Perhaps a bit more validation of the changes might've helped reduce the commit noise, but it is UI code, and not all changes are predictable. The tangled web that is the menu code especially so. If he's working on code that he is unfamiliar with then he should be asking for review before pushing them to master. I've seen all of the top devs open tickets or start email threads asking for advice or review in the past. I also think his defensive attitude when being asked to change something by senior devs is becoming a bit annoying. Not that I have any say in the matter, but, if a good portion of his commits need corrections beyond style changes then perhaps he is too quick to pull the trigger on git push and needs to be submitting them as patches to trac. --Chris
