Yes, I do, but I don't mind. It's two commands with a copy-and-paste
that occurs while I am doing other stuff.

Exactly what Nick said. I treat each fix as an atomic commit that
happens to span to branches in svn. That way I never forget anything.
Plus I have actually been committing when someone else was doing a
large merge into Py3K, so this helps prevent all of my commits from
suddenly causing someone else grief.
