logic:

commit messages for different files

very long time
- forces cvs log messages to actually be worthwhile to read and makes
browsing cvs history much nicer (it's very easy to look at the
differences
between two files and match up a good commit message rather than
trying to
figure out what message in the ChangeLog goes with it, assuming
there is one)
- easily standardize ChangeLog format wrt to header, copyrights,
licensing,
message formatting, name/date format
- generate dates in UTC down to the second rather than having devs
hand type
them in their local timezone for just the current day
- maybe some other things i havent thought of
- i'm lazy
Me likey.
