The jcheck rules *require* a separate bug ID for each commit.

I'm thinking not only of this particular change, but future changes I plan to 
make, where I'll do the diamond conversion other areas of the JDK, broken down 
into suitable chunks for easy review. It's bad enough that each chunk will 
require a separate bug IDs. If I were to make the diamond conversions separate 
changesets from line joins, it'd require *two* bug IDs for each chunk.

While I agree there would be some value in keeping these changes in separate 
changesets, the sense I get from talking to other folks is that it isn't worth 
the additional overhead.
