Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
This is an additional patch to #381152 "please allow specifications of
files to check in". It automatically adds debian/changelog to the list
of files to commit so it is not necessary to list it manually.
This way one can either:
$ debcommit
to commit all changes, or
$ debcommit some/file
which will take the commit message from debian/changelog, commit
some/file and debian/changelog
Without this patch one has to always remember to add debian/changelog to
the list of files to commit, as it makes no sense to omit
debian/changelog from the commit - the changelog entries are still used
on the next debcommit.
Thanks for considering,
dam
