David,

We stopped updating release log, as it caused merge issues while cherry-picking commits to other branches (like 0.8 branch). And with appropriate use of git while dealing with patches (like preserve author information, commit message), maintaining release log file is not necessary.

Is this still part of the process? Based on your previous suggestion:https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ATLAS/Using+Git+with+Atlas I assume the committer needs to issue a git commit --patch - so that the original message and authorship are maintained. In this case, we do not include the release log update. I am looking to update the wiki with the current practices. all the best, David Radley - Apache Atlas committer
