ChangeLog policy

Hi folks,

just one thing which seems to be still misunderstood.

For commiting changes to the repository, the ChangeLog policy is still as follows:

1. Add an entry to ChangeLog before committing. Use tabs instead of spaces and indent correctly. Check the Changelog of the gimp module to see how it's done correctly.
2. Use "svn commit" and duplicate the ChangeLog entry as the commit message. (Use copy and paste or whatever). 3. *Always* provide a ChangeLog entry and a commit message. Even for the smallest change...

This is good:

This is bad:

Please guys - follow the policy. I'm the one who get's the punishment for a bad formatted ChangeLog.

Greetings,

BTW this commit message policy is unique in many project I'm in... is it possible to know the reasons of such a strict policy and the punisment that will be applicated :-] (just for the sake of sadic curiosity...)

Heh - I learned it that way and never asked ;)

Maybe it's GNUstyle or something like that?
