Yes

Good point. Until now in webserve the heads are branch reltated...

In any case I suggest to align bb, webserve and loggerhead to use the same 
colors for the diff:
                 +                    -
webserve      green                  red
loggerhead    light green            light red
bundlebuggy   blu                    red

which you prefer ?
