Greetings Travis. Subversion does allow editing of change logs, though the process isn't the most straight forward. One description of the process can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.reposadmin.maint.html#svn.reposadmin.maint.setlog . I believe we have access to the 'svn propset' command.
Updates made in this manner aren't processed by the JIRA hooks, so it isn't possible to go back and add a JIRA reference, and have the change be automatically added to the JIRA task. --Andrew Black Travis Vitek wrote: > Brad, > > We use a slightly modified version of the GNU ChangeLog format to > describe all changes that are committed to subversion for the stdcxx > project.
