I haven't the faintest idea how to do this. Your change-log format is good for describing small incremental changes at the granularity of individual functions, but not for major rewrites where abstractions touch many functions at once. It's not that I'm unwilling to try to write something useful, I can't imagine how to within this format. > Also, would you please write the changes to the Emacs Manual? I've already done that. They're ready to be merged along with the vc.el code. -- Eric S. Raymond
