I just committed what appears to be the first change to the 2.6 branch post-release (see "[osg-submissions] Fix for PAT in FLT export"). Robert, how do you update the changeLog, are you just pulling it from svn periodically or do you have some kind of automatic mechanism in place? My concern here is that we track the changes to the 2.6 branch so that when/if we do a 2.6.1 release, we can easily create release notes that describe what went into it.
I find Changelogs hard to read, usually due to cryptic log entries. Plus there's more in the log than needs to be in the release notes (and vice versa). I think writing release notes as we go is the easiest. We can continue to keep the current style of commit messages.

For (automatically) keeping track of merges between branches I'd once again would like to point out svnmerge (http://www.orcaware.com/svn/wiki/Svnmerge.py). It not only keeps track of which revisions have already been merged and which ones are left to be merged for a branch, but it also produces commit messages that contain the original log entries of the revisions that got merged.
