Hmm, how should I commit the Makefile and ChangeLog changes I make to
the packages?  Right now after I've uploaded the new set I get

nk at vserv:test% hg st -qS
M xemacs-packages/Sun/.hgtags
M xemacs-packages/Sun/ChangeLog
M xemacs-packages/Sun/Makefile

because these changes have been committed locally.

I can revert them and commit/push from the top level.  Would this then
be correct?  Or do I have to push the changes individually (but what'll
happen to my top level repo then)?

Heck, I'll never understand it :-)

Thanks,
norbert.
