Yes, but it requires significant manual filtering *now* to produce it as well. And it misses stuff (I *know* that I keep forgetting and don't always pick up on it and fix it later, and I'm pretty sure others do as well). So you'd have to make a pass through all the git logs *anyway* if you want to keep it up to date. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgadmin-hackers mailing list (pgadmin-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-hackers
