LilyPond was the first project to switch to Git, and the ChangeLog was one of the first things that we junked. * It's a nuisance, because it always conflicts on merges. * After you've used git log -Ssuspect_text -p branch -- the ChangeLog looks like a joke. * We did have some autogenerated changelogs for a while, but I have never seen any evidence that they were used. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen
