I think this idea conflicts with the purpose of the ChangeLog, being |
12 |
that it should contain relevant information for users only. Technical |
13 |
details belong to the commit message, as you agreed upon yourself in one |
14 |
of the commit reviews we had earlier on this list. |

That said, I see the benefit of repoman being able to add a ChangeLog |
17 |
entry, but I think it should refrain if the ChangeLog has been modified. |
