thinking about it a little more, i think this can easily be addressed. |
11 |
only auto-generate the ChangeLog file if it doesnt exist in VCS. |
12 |
thus the few people who are actually anal about typos (or just think |
13 |
they are) can retain their ChangeLogs in the packages they maintain |

and continue to hand update them. for the rest of us, we can |
15 |
autogenerate from the VCS logs. |
