Doing ChangeLogs right would involve mentioning the copyrights of all contributors, which would make them about 10% longer, I'd guess. Nor is there any usable evidence in the VCS log about ChangeLogs for non-committer contributors, as it's very often the case that the committer wrote the ChangeLog. So getting all the relevant copyright information would be a real drag for ChangeLogs, more so than the change itself (where the ChangeLog normally identifies the copyrightholder of the change). With the assignment policy, there's only one to mention, and no committer vs. contributor ambiguity is moot. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
