Hello gnulibers.
Some projects (like Automake) have the policy of keeping multiple
ChangeLog entries having the same author and date lumped togheter,
preferring e.g.:
2000-01-01 Foo Bar <address@hidden>
Add foo
Add bar
over:
2000-01-01 Foo Bar <address@hidden>
Add foo
2000-01-01 Foo Bar <address@hidden>
Add bar
For such projects, the git-merge-changelog user experience is somewhat
marred, since the driver separates the lumped-togheter entries when
rebasing, e.g. turning a ChangeLog entry like the former into one
like the latter (see the attached script for an example).
Do you think an option could be added to git-merge-changelog to
make this behavior more configurable, and adjustable to the
"lumped-togheter" policy?
Regards,
Stefano
