No, it arose from the fact that I committed changes previously and they did not get beyond my machine. This is not about ChangeLog in particular. This is about making VC handle git as it handles bzr and cvs. As a separate matter, something is wrong in my repository with lisp/ChangeLog. I have changes I want to check in, and I don't know what to do. Brief hints are not enough to enable me to fix this. How should I get my changes installed? Would you please help me? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! See stallman.org/skype.html.
