For some modules, like gnome-applets or gnome-games, with lots of small - loosely related - programs inside, the ChangeLog has a finer granularity than the commit message. The ChangeLog provides a coherent story for the sub-module - something the commit messages don't. In some ways its a sign the repository is poorly arranged, but thats what we've got. - Callum _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
