Can't developers use the subversion history?
It's much quicker to look at the change log, and when you work with
tarballs there's no subversion history. So no, that's not a good
"replacement" for my uses.
I'm not sure what you're saying in that last paragraph. Copying a
change history isn't needed when you're diligent about updating the
change log whenever you make actual trunk changes.
Sorry. I was referring to the current Zope 2 (and CMF) policy:
"Note that you don't need to note the fix in the CHANGES.txt on the
trunk if you don't want to. At the time a new feature release is
made, we merge the items in CHANGES.txt from the trunk and current
release branch so that for any given release it notes the actual
changes as of that release." http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Subversion/ZopeDevelopmentProcess
I think I have done some of that merging once in a while, but always
in a haphazard fashion and did not know about the URL you provided. I
personally dislike that, and would strongly favor noting every change
on the trunk as it is checked in, just like you would do on the branch.
