Not to sidetrack the conversation too much -- but this is a perfect example of why I suggested more informative changelog entries would be valuable to the project going forward. If you record this sort of information along with changes to a file, then someone wondering why code is written in a certain way at least has a hope of using "svn blame" or the like and actually finding an answer. - R.
