Thanks for the review, Stefan.

Since I explained the overall point of the change elsewhere in the commit 
message, I deliberately kept a narrower focus in the part of the commit message 
that's about the diff to `open-line'.  However, on reflection, I think you're 
right that it would have been clearer to say something like this:

  * lisp/simple.el (open-line): Remove INTERACTIVE flag, so that
    it is no longer passed to `newline', so that invoking `newline'
    no longer causes electric indentation to happen.

Oh, well.  Although mostly pleased with Emacs' transition to distributed 
version control, I do miss one thing: being able to edit log messages after the 
fact!

Best regards
