Nice, as it says in CONTRIBUTE: - Start with a single unindented summary line explaining the change; do not end this line with a period. If that line starts with a semicolon and a space "; ", the commit message will be ignored when generating the ChangeLog file. Use this for minor commits that do not need separate ChangeLog entries, such as changes in etc/NEWS. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2
