Commit messages themselves won't be very useful - a fix could include a number of commits, and people regularly write commit messages not in format suitable for NEWS. I'd rather prefer them to put it in NEWS file - where they have an example of how it's done right, and where they can put it in proper order, proper sections, etc. It won't save much work because if people would neglect to do it with NEWS file, they'd also neglect to put messages in commit in proper format, so they will have to be hand-edited anyway. So we don't win much by telling people not to bother about NEWS anymore - I'd rather have them to bother with it and make RM's life a bit easier. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
