I've often wondered, and a few times I've even modified an entry's date, when it was weeks or months off. It's nice to know that's the rule. > In other words, > the dates in the ChangeLog should be monotonically increasing from > bottom to top. It's hard to have them monotonically increasing in a global world. An Old World developer commits a change at 02:00 UTC, and minutes afterwards someone from the New World commits a change with the previous (from my POV) day's date... Non-monotonic ChangeLog dates render the --from-date and --to-date options of grep-changelog much less useful. I've even thinking of patching it to give it a little leeway when searching the date boundaries. /L/e/k/t/u
