That looks like a nice solution, but sometimes the message is general ("some small changes"), would that add one entry log for every tiny function slightly modified? Or maybe it could be an interactive thing where I choose only what is really interesting? I found a couple of scripts (one [1] there), I'll see if they make sense... But it makes more sense to generate when I commit instead of when I make the program I guess. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* [1] http://blog.cryos.net/archives/202-Git-and-Automatic-ChangeLog-Generation.html
