I'm calling them minor as none of them affect the trunk/master branch or any of the Cactus or ET release branches. Some examples can be seen in the Cartoon2D repository <<a href="https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusnumerical-cartoon2d/commits/all?page=5">https://bitbucket.org/cactuscode/cactusnumerical-cartoon2d/commits/all?page=5</a>>:</div>
