 - this script will check the OLD and NEW repository for inconsistencies
     - issue-ids are checked; titles are not checked
     - assignments in new repo are checked
-- if your titles include a ¬ character, the script may could behave funny as this is used as separator
+- the --wait time slows down the script to reduce e-mail-sending-speed
+- the title is not fetched due to complications with tea and "quotes"
 - Troubleshooting
