I'd say no (1). The information in ChangeLog and commit message can diverge, so deleting them may remove information. I recommend keeping them around, Perhaps in a directory in with historic files, or marking them as THESE CHANGELOGS ARE NO LONGER UPDATED in screaming letters at the top. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
