With auto-generating ChangeLog entries, I'd expect that you'd pass the tag of the last release to the script. So no old ChangeLog entries would ever be stepped on by a later auto-generation. That is irrespective of whether the output is appended to an existing file or a new file is created for each release. I forget exactly how Frank's script worked. > (OTOH it means more files to search for a particular change, if you > don't have access to the git logs.) I don't see that as much of a problem. I nearly always do have access to the git logs. And for old history, Changelog is already separated even if that was originally done because CVS started to get slow once the file got big. And I can see that for someone who does want to browse the ChangeLog, getting just the new entries is useful: much as I often follow an update with git log @\{1\}.. > However, *IF* we're going to continue to maintain ChangeLog, I'd > prefer that we continue maintaining it in its present form. I don't see any reason to change the basic form. Oliver
