Ugly history happens. It's a nuisance, but the generated Changelogs will have to be edited anyway (at least that's my experience from generating Changelogs for CEDET). But I think we should have a method to override the Changelog from the commit message; 'git-notes' would be an option for that. I fail to see what is gained by reverting the changes from this merge. It makes the history even more messy. -David
