Subject: Re: [Emacs-diffs] trunk r116644: ChangeLog entries should be usable without the VCS
Date: Tue, 04 Mar 2014 12:28:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <p2vbvt50w1.fsf@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: CAAeL0ST1X462xiodfg5mD_=D35CXhu09MVSuTv9MdkqKRwVLuQ@mail.gmail.com
The ChangeLog should be understandable to someone sitting there with
just the source tarball and no VCS. "Fix revno:foo" is literally useless
to such a person. There's nothing to discuss here. Git hashes versus bzr
revisions, generated ChangeLogs, what gets written in *commit* logs, the
various ways people access the Emacs sources, it's all irrelevant.
Anyway, none of this gets us any closer to 24.4.
So I hope this thread will die, and that people with the time to comment
will instead look at documenting the remaining issues in NEWS and fixing
the numerous outstanding bugs.
