it doesn't say it in the log file -- only in this import message.
(it does have a matching tag, at least.)

copying the ChangeLog is a little excessive -- you're supposed to
distill it down to important things.  this is the process that
core has asked for, after all :-)

thanks.  now we just have a couple more ports to make build again
so we can update their binutils mknative... but these are not your
fault or problem :-)

So next time:

I mention that it is binutils.2.23.2 like it says above, and I

Yes, please mention that it is binutils-2.32.2.  The existence of 
the "binutils-2-23-2" tag, or the fact that it corresponds to this 
import, will not be obvious to future users of "cvs log".


If the ChangeLog is small, then pasting it into the commit log is 
useful.  If the ChangeLog is large, then please extract only the 
highlights.

I think the entries in the NEWS files listed on

https://sourceware.org/binutils/

are good enough. For example,

https://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/binutils/NEWS?rev=1.109&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=src&only_with_tag=binutils-binutils-2_23_2

has

Changes in 2.23:

* Add support for the VLE extension to the PowerPC architecture.

* Add support for x64 Windows target of the delayed-load-library.

* Add support for the Renesas RL78 architecture.

Changes in 2.22:

* Add support for displaying the contents of .debug.macro sections.

* Add --preprocessor-arg option to windres to specify additional options
  passed to preprocessor.

* Add --dwarf-start and --dwarf-end to readelf and objdump.  These are used by
  the new Emacs mode, see dwarf-mode.el.

* Add support for the Tilera TILEPro and TILE-Gx architectures.

The cvs log looks like this:


revision 1.1.1.3
date: 2013-09-29 15:38:08 +0200;  author: christos;  state: Exp;  lines: +925 
-12;  commitid: TyuuzSx830x3Yk7x;
from ftp.gnu.org


which is useless.
