Uhm.. well, there are some:
- Sometimes i do commits that are so minor they don't really deserve
being in ChangeLog. For example, when I fix a typo or minor aestethical
changes, or when I change something and then revert it.
- Then we'd have to write decent entries for every commit. This is not
much of a problem but i'd have to "teach" myself doing it.
- How does cvs2cl pick names and addresses from? When we recieve contributions
from hackers without cvs access and apply them, there should be a way to use
their name and email address in the ChangeLog.
