As such a user... Given the proposed three-level system, dev-git, power-user-git, general- user-rsync, dumping changelogs in rsync is my preferred solution as well. Given power-user-git access I expect anyone who actually reads changelogs will be switching to the power-user-git level in a heartbeat, and I can't see the folks remaining on rsync actually caring about changelogs, either. In the one-off case they find themselves needing a changelog, they can read the git commit log online. When the discussion came up previously I was strongly in favor of keeping changelogs, because users /don't/ currently have a reasonable alternative. With the proposed three-level system, the power-user git repo will be that alternative, and the changelogs can simply go away in favor of people actually having access to a full git repo and git log. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
