4 By the way, repoman commit doesn't allow you to do so: as it commits "in
5 block" and you must call it also to change a single file in $FILESDIR (else
6 you break the manifest), it makes more sense to do different commits.
7 In this case it makes more sense to change the changelog just at the end with
8 a summary of the changes, instead of polluting the changelog with "Fix for
9 this file" ... "fix for that file" ... "last fix for that file" ...
