It is supported, particularly for documentation changes, but not
frequently used, though our documenters recently are encouraging more
use of it it because of GitHub's ability to do inline editing.

I've glanced at your requests, and they all look good.  However,
there's one administrative detail that would help.  Specifically, in
the commit message, could you add a line that's of the form:

Signed-off-by: Josh Stompro <youremailaddress>

This signifies acceptance of Evergreen's Developer's Certificate of
Origin (http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=dev:standing_dco),
which basically confirms that the patch was written by you and that
you have permission to contribute it.

For your current pull requests, you can also reply with a statement
accepting the DCO for them, and I can merge your commits and add your
signoff.

We also run a project Git server; instructions for getting access to
working repositories there can be found at
