21 You are correct - 2.2.4 IS mentioned in the ChangeLog during the
22 subsequent commit. So you think it is ok to hide the first commit under
23 a ChangeLog entry of "Version bump" ? I don't see the logic. My issue
24 with this is that other devs (or users) still don't know how or why the
25 dependancies got in the 2.2.5 version or what deps were fixed.
26
27 In this case, I would have committed a new 2.2.5 version with the
28 ChangeLog entry of: "Version bump, fix python dependancies that are
29 incorrect in the old" or somthing like that. This way commit #1 is not
30 hidden and placed under a false entry of commit #2.
