They are not yet there, but they will be soon. I think that is sensible. The ChangeLog files will show the detailed changes (with a suitable header line) like this: 2007-06-01 Karoly Lorentey Merge multi-tty branch to trunk. * file1 (func1): ... * file2 (func2): ... etc. The cvs logs will just say "Merge multi-tty branch to trunk". That is more than adequate to follow the changes -- and in such cases, the individual changes to each file doesn't really make much sense on their own anyway. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
