A single merge-commit to the unicode-2 branch represents many, many changes on the trunk (hundreds of files, often multiple changes to each file), so I don't include changelog info in the CVS log entry at all. The CVS log entry more or less says "merge from trunk of changesets X-Y." You'll find that this is _always_ how merging is done though, regardless of who does it, because to actually track down the separate changelog entries, package them up, and commit each file separately would be a lot of work, very slow, and bloat the CVS logs, all for very little gain. -Miles -- Fast, small, soon; pick any 2.
