So the ChangeLog file should be redundant. If it's not, it's an error of the committer. I guess I have made that error in all my commits. Why choose this approach, rather than the one I used? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
