Of course MFC After just generates email to the person doing the
commit as a reminder..  One would presume that they would know where
they are going to merge it.  And if they are doing an N way merge,
they can always use stage N-1 to clock stage N (eg when merging to 5,
they could have a MFC for the merge to 4).
