+** You may find it useful to install the git-merge-changelog merge driver.
+See http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09699.html for
+information on how to install it.
The email referenced above contains a script that generates a tarball. I
don't see instructions on how to install git-merge-changelog.
The comments in gnulib/lib/git-merge-changelog.c explain the purpose of
git-merge-changelog and how to install it.
The installation is done automatically by bootstrap, so most of the
steps in git-merge-changelog.c would be confusing.
Using the tarball, you just have to use "make install" to place the
program on the path. OTOH, I learnt now (from git-merge-changelog.c)
about gnulib-tool's --create-testdir option which makes my
tarball-generating script somewhat irrelevant now. I'll change HACKING
to refer to something like the recipe given in git-merge-changelog.c:
$ ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=/tmp/testdir123 \
git-merge-changelog
$ cd /tmp/testdir123
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
after I've tested it.
