Makes sense for a large commit. I try to do that after most big
commits myself, or when things aren't inside the kernel. In this
case, however, it wouldn't have saved much time. I made the commit
and went to bed. The buildworld on the clean tree wouldn't have been
ready for two hours and I was fast asleep by then. When I woke up, I
had messages telling me of my mistake and fixed it then. If I had
done a buildworld on a fresh tree, then I'd have done the same thing
when I discovered it had failed in the morning...
