>     Package archives now have priorities.
    
>     When installing packages by name, only packages from archives with
>     the highest priority are considered, before versions are compared.
    
>     This solves the "MELPA problem", where MELPA assigns date-based
>     version numbers to packages which override all other archives.
>     Giving MELPA a lower priority means packages are installed from
>     MELPA only when the package is not available from other archives.
    
>     This can be overridden manually by the user.

For branches in the emacs.git we like to use the same ChangeLog
(and commit message) conventions as for the main branches.
