[squeak-dev] Commit messages not appearing in list

I've added 4 packages to the Inbox the last two days, and only one of
them showed up in the list (ironically, the retraction one because of
a bug).  The others did not show up at all.

The ones that are there include:
* A System package that includes a fix to MessageTally>>spyEvery:on:
to work with BlockClosures so that we can once again profile methods.
* A Collections package that includes a change to
Character>>digitValue that significantly speeds up the conversion of
Latin strings to numbers (and should still work fine for non-latin
digits).

So SqueakSource will need some changes to make this use of a repository
(the Inbox) useful in terms of sending out notices.  Either

a) if the diff exceeds a certain size, send the message without the diff

b) check for ancestors within all projects, not just the current project

Choice b may be OK for source.squeak.org but unrealistic for
squeaksource.com.
