Brad, We use a slightly modified version of the GNU ChangeLog format to describe all changes that are committed to subversion for the stdcxx project. There is a quick overview of the ChangeLog format at http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/bugs.html#patches, and a more detailed description at http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html.
The two things that I believe are different from the GNU ChangeLog format are that we use relative paths to describe files instead of just filename, and we sometimes include multiple users on a single change. I've linked to two changes below for reference. We only started doing the relative path thing recently, so you won't see that in any of the older changes. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=425242 [multiple users] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=610576 [relative paths] That said, I believe that the general format for a ChangeLog when branching is to use the branch name where the relative path would usually go. Something like this... 2008-01-10 Brad Lemmings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * branches/autotools: New branch based off trunk/ at rev 610576 Now that the change has been committed, I don't know if there is anything that can be done to change the log. Hopefully someone else will jump in here and enlighten us.
