This is good to know. So looking at AnyBranchScheduler as a model, I see:

- _process_changes takes an argument "t"
- and it's passed into db functions like scheduler_get_classified_changes
- Where t.execute() is called

Is that the proper way to make sure we're in the same DB interaction? If
so, what's the best way to get the "t" object from fileIsimportant (or
perhaps a ChangeFilter)?

Egads. I didn't realize this boilerplate would be added. I've switched to
my personal email.
