Felix Fietkau dixit:

which patch chunk belongs to which logical change.

This does get more difficult, but is still relatively
easily doable, especially if people use "cvs log" (svn log)
and "cvs annotate" (svn blame) functionality. And its
benefits outweigh the costs.

What if the patches add features and those features get bugfixes, cleanups, etc. over time (happens frequently). I can't think of a way to extract those feature sets without lots of manual logs.

I don't know about those developers of FreeWRT that mentioned concerns about this patch structure, but for me the benefits would never outweigh the costs, since I'm totally used to having all the information on which patch is intended to do what readily available. For me the overhead of making properly structured patches is neglegible...

But that kind of stuff is up to you guys, I guess - so I won't bother you with it anymore...
