+1! cvs log exports are rarely useful. Usually they go "had problems with $baz so we changed $xfoo to $zfoo to avoid the mangle bug" which is useful for the other developers to understand a change; but the "human readable" changelog should go "fixed problem with $baz related to the mangle problem in python 5.1 and perl 6.9.3". which is useful for users of the package to know about what to look out for. - ask -- ask bjoern hansen, http://ask.netcetera.dk/ !try; do();
