Package: git-merge-changelog Version: 20140202+stable-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Your git-merge-changelog(1) manpage and the source file git-merge-changelog.c both say that you need a '.gitattributes' file in *every* directory. In fact, if you want all files named ChangeLog in a given git repository to be merged using git-merge-changelog, you just need one .gitattributes file at the top of the tree, with the same contents already documented in both manpage and source. This is because the pattern is treated the same as in .gitignore, which means that for a pattern to be restricted to matching a file relative to that particular directory, it must start with a /, so "ChangeLog" will match any file named ChangeLog in the directory containing the .gitattribute file or any of its subdirectories. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages git-merge-changelog depends on: ii libc6 2.18-4 git-merge-changelog recommends no packages. git-merge-changelog suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Hi!
