Thanks, but that would generate duplicates in the ChangeLog files. For e= xample,=20 if a patch updates both lisp/Makefile.in and src/Makefile.in, it would co= py the=20 patch's change log entry to both lisp/ChangeLog and src/ChangeLog. Plus,= it's=20 not clear how to generate the "leftover" ChangeLog at the top level, whic= h=20 contains everything not in the subsidiary ChangeLogs.
