## Problem
[werkbaum PR#9](https://git.javagil.de/mi/werkbaum/pulls/9) was GREEN, but did not merge.
The model found a hint on `docs/CHANGELOG.md:1`, a file that the PR does not change.
Gitea takes no line comment there, so the hint stood only in the result comment and held the merge.
The note said "reply to each line comment and resolve it", but there was no line comment to resolve.
The same happens to a line comment that Gitea refused, and to writing rule violations beyond the 10 line comments.
## Non-Goals
- No change of which hints hold the merge.
- No change of how a restart releases the hints that stand only in the result comment.
## Specification
### Feature: the note of a held merge tells how to release it
#### Scenario#95.01: a hint outside the diff is answered in a PR comment
So that the author knows what to do when no line comment exists.
- **Given** a GREEN review with one hint on a file that the PR does not change
- **When** werkrevisor holds the merge
- **Then** the result comment asks to answer the hint in a PR comment, then to restart the review
##### Verified by
- [test_hints_hold_merge.HintsHoldTheMergeTest.test_a_hint_outside_the_diff_asks_for_an_answer_in_a_pr_comment](../../tests/test_hints_hold_merge.py)
#### Scenario#95.02: line comments and other hints are named apart
So that the author resolves the line comments and answers the other hints.
- **Given** a GREEN review with one hint as a line comment and one hint on a file that the PR does not change
- **When** werkrevisor holds the merge
- **Then** the result comment asks to resolve the line comment and to answer the other hint in a PR comment

## Solution
`_open_hints` counts the open line comments and the hints that stand only in the result comment apart;
`_hold_merge` builds the note from both counts.
