+Hi\r
+\r
+The series looks good to me with one minor point:\r
+\r
+> + ;; return the list of actual changed tags\r
+> + tag-changes)\r
+\r
+I found the comment confusing: I read it as the function looked at the\r
+tags the message had before and after and returned the\r
+difference. Perhaps something like "in all cases we return tag-changes\r
+as a list" (and a similar comment for the commit message).\r
+\r
+Best wishes\r
