I saw some .gitattributes file mentioning exactly this ChangeLog merging in the binutils-gdb repo and copied it over so it's part of our repo as well. I don't know exactly where to go from there. The comment claims the user has to install the git-merge-changelog package and per the comment "this is the tricky part!". Why that's the tricky part beats me. The git-merge-changelog package is part of the Fedora distro. So, is that really all there is? Installing git-merge-changelog, adding [merge "merge-changelog"] name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver driver = git-merge-changelog %O %A %B to my .gitconfig and shoot? So ultimately the user has to make the choice whether generating ChangeLogs automatically or manually, right? > > Still, how's that better than creating the automatic version number from > > ChangeLog? > > For starters it only needs to trace back to the latest tag and not > through all commits and the tags give you an easy way to refer to > exactly the commit some release has been made from. Ok, I trust you tested it? Please check in (with ChangeLog ;)) Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
