For instance it's much harder to go back and edit a published VCS log than a ChangeLog file. When I have to fix a change, shortly after installing it, I edit its ChangeLog entry rather than making a separate one. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
