Starting at 2011-10-26, the -policy changed. Before, we would insert the exact same text (or worse, -sometimes slightly differing) into both the ChangeLog file and the commit -log. Now we put that information only in the commit log, and generate -the ChangeLog file from logs at "make dist" time. As such, there are -strict requirements on the form of the commit log messages. - - -Commit log requirements -======================= -Each commit log should always start with a one-line summary, the second -line should be blank, and the remaining lines are usually ChangeLog-style -entries for all affected files, except the leading TABs which should -be omitted. It's OK to write a few lines of prose describing the change, -when the summary and ChangeLog entries don't give enough of the big picture. |
